    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.
