I've wondered why Germans use the street name before the street number. Seems a little inconsistent with the hierarchy of an address structure.

- midasuni 4y agoMany languages write 99 as broadly “ninety and nine” or “nine and ninety”. Fairly simple base 10 system. French meanwhile writes “four twenties, ten and nine” Danish goes even crazier though.
- distances 4y agoMaybe another oddity of the English speaking world? I don't have a list now but I would assume street name first to be the common format.
