KecessaMeanwhile all french speakers understand each other perfectly well.
So you mistake people saying ninety-nine (99) for them saying ninety nine (90, 9)? No? How come? It’s the same thing!
Right, but the tens numeral and the ones numeral being separate words that you add makes more sense than occasionally throwing a curveball like 20×4+5
But it’s still clear what we’re saying when we speak. 4 20 5 vs 4, 20, 5 vs 4, 20 5 vs 4 20, 5, non of it sounds the same when we speak.
