@rnd@toot.cat yeah, making this the same number makes a key point less poignant: in order to say 21, we say "one-and-twenty".
There is an association (of course) advocating for a change: https://zwanzigeins.jetzt/
It's called twenty-one. It looks like a rather silly word in german.
I've been doing math as a native german speaker for a large part of my life and this quirk KEEPS ANNOYING ME. For decades! Please can we stop with the inconsistency.
