minus-squareNangijala@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up3·13 hours agoMore like 2 and half fives. Half five is our word for 90. So in essence we say 2 and 90 but the word 90 is half five. 80 is fours 70 is half fours 60 is threes 50 is half threes 40 is forty 30 is thirty 20 is twenty 10 is ten. Oh and a 100 is a hundred. So I dunno what happened between 50 and 90, but I’m sure there is a funny story behind that somewhere.
