There's an interesting nuance for Romanian. While talking formally, "Noua zeci si doi" (9 10s and 2) is perfectly fine, in informal speech most people just say "Noua-s doi" (9 'n 2).

And then all Germans France and Denmark will complain when people in the US use 09/28/23 which is the same order used for Sept 9th 2023 instead of 28/09/23 which backwards from the most logical of putting the most significant number first and the least significant number last 23/28/09.

23/28/09 pure chaos

I prefer to sort my dates descending.

28/23/09 = 28 Sept 2023

11/09/01 = >!Jan 9 2011!<

But it makes no sense to us because we also say it the way we put it ("28 Septembre 2023", Aka 28/09/2023)...

I was pretty convinced this was a joke until I got to the comments.
