I think the German solution works better for the German language. 'neunzigundzwei' sounds worse than 'zweiundneunzig' or at least less flowy. But I'm obv biased by being German lol and this is just one example.
I think that's just because you're used to it.
I am German too and it would feel weird, but our way of saying it is really weird, when considered.
Especially if you add a hundred.
137
One-hundred seven and thirty
It's just uselessly jumping around.
You know, I was willing to defend you Germans here assuming you just said the numbers right to left, but no. Now I'm not going to.
Yeah, I think we’re just biased. If it would have been always the other way around, we probably would think it’s the flowy way to say it xD
Yeah probably :D
