That’s ridiculous

We only do that for the numbers 13-19, it’s much more logical.

I agree with the ridiculous. My kids were taught in primary school to write 123 as 1, 3 (with a blank after the 1) and the 2 (inside the blank). To this day I do not know if that is brilliant or stupid.

Also, we Germans do like our rules. If it works for 13-19, why change it 😎?
