    More 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.
