It's pretty wild how different languages can handle things differently. Even basic stuff like numbers. Thank goodness we've standardized on using arabic numerals most of the time. writing out numbers is a mess. E.g. in dutch the last two numbers get swapped when written out:
21 -> "eenentwintig" -> "one and twenty"
French gets especially zany:
80 -> "quatre-vingts" -> "four twenties"
I'm sure there's about a million more ways languages have wildly differing concepts of numbers from what you expect. Now repeat the above exercise for numbers, dates, money, names, just about everything.
