The concept really is bullshit, and that's coming from a German. For certain kinds of triple digit numbers people sometimes resort to saying the single digits in a row ("drei fünf neun" instead of dreiundertneunundfünfzig). Less misunderstandings, and faster.

dreiundertneunundfünfzig

And you're trying to tell me that the german language is real?

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 4 months ago

That word isn't real.

It's spelled dreihundertneunundfünfzig

Look at this:

Dziewięćdziesiąt dziewięć

Listen to it in polish via web. I'm serious, listen to it.
