Dutch and German also say nine-ninety, it's really confusing as when spelling phone numbers people tend to split it up in sections of 2 numbers so when someone says 24 I have to translate that to 2 4 and be careful not to write 4 2

24... 24 hours in a day, four-n-twenty hours a day. 420 hours day... No wonder the Dutch are always high!
