Same
Welsh has a Vigesimal and Decimal counting system and both are used for different purposes. The decimal one is very logical eg ten, one ten one, one ten two, one ten three … two ten, two ten one etc etc
The Vigesimal system is different…
- Ten
- One on ten
- Two on ten
- Three on ten
- Four on ten
- Fifteen
- One on fifteen
- Two on fifteen
- Two nines
- Four on fifteen
- Twenty
Add to that that numbers can be gendered, mutate at the start or drop the end depending on a number of rules, or just randomly throw in an extra option eg 50 is “ten and two twenty” Vigesimal or “five ten” Decimal… but often you’d use “half hundred”…
My understanding is that this is surprisingly common, but has died out in many languages.
Give him time. You think the answer would be the same if they offered to pay for the data?
Wow. Read this (as a regular Amazon user) and thought “no way it’s that hard”. I tried, and including a multiple product side scrolling and with multiple options as 1 entry, the official one was 5th in the list, and you can only tell that’s the case because “Nintendo Switch” is bolded and you can check the seller when you click on it. Not impossible but certainly not as simple as you’d expect.
I guess if you’re very used to it you don’t notice but I can see how that would jade or confuse new/inexperienced users and lead to buying the wrong or an imitation product.
