Growing up bilingual in German and English, can I just say german’s “7 + 90” is pretty dumb too.
397 is 300 + 7 + 90: 100s 1s 10s. For bigger numbers you’re doing it repeatedly.
In German for every set you’re saying the digits and tens in the wrong order. You get used to it, but only if you grow up in Germany (I didn’t), else it forever does you head in reading numbers.
