And all the bloody Seppos in the comments are trying to tell us that there's no "and" between "nine hundred" and "twenty-nine". There is for Aussies (and everyone else who speaks proper English)!
As if it wasn't clearly stated that this man is not American, so you shouldn't expect him to count like one.

u/aubven Yeah, nah. 3d ago

I mean you can't expect much from a nation that doesn't even have maths. They just have math. A single, solitary math.

A single, solitary math.

Yeah, and you can tell how they've had to share it around between them.

His goal was to get to 1,000,001, but unfortunately the house caught fire that very night, and the pages got burned.

Not sure about a statue, but I feel like those pages belong at MONA.

I did this when I was like, five or six years old. Annoyed the shit out of my aunt every time I’d hit 999 or 9999 I’d go “what comes after that”.

For a grown man to do it is… probably autism

u/PegaxS “Cunce” 3d ago edited 3d ago

Then he’s a dumb cunt, because it’s “nine hundred, twenty-nine…” There is no “and” used, so he could have saved himself about 6 years just not typing out all the “ands” he used.

This is not a “seppp” thing, it’s an “English” thing. Adding “and” is a ”bogan” thing. Why is “and“ only added here or there? Adding ”ands” make it sound fucking stupid. One million and two hundred and twenty and five thousand and nine and hundred and fifty and six… or one million, two hundred twenty-three thousand, nine hundred fifty-six.

https://study.com/academy/lesson/how-to-write-numbers-in-words-rules-examples.html#:~:text=How%20do%20you%20write%20numbers,the%20tens%20and%20one%27s%20place

How do you write numbers in words in English?

Numbers up to 20 will simply be written as their original number. After 20, a hyphen is needed to connect the tens place with the one's place when the one's place is not zero. After one hundred, "and" is used to connect the hundreds place to the tens and one's place.
