Instead of being an infective language with changing endings English uses prepositions to indicate the case before the noun (of, to or for, by with or from) - English tells you what's going to happen and then gives the noun whereas inflective languages give you the noun and then what's going to happen; this is why a preposition is a word you never end a sentence with. Due to lack of endings English is more strict over word order, and doesn't (generally) require adjective matching.

Oh, and the "one" thing, is from the association of the "terrace end", or "corner plot" on a road being the larger, more expensive, big building. One would usually also be on the end closer to town centre, making it more appealing to some, especially on long roads, with most people walking a lot of places in the UK. The other thing with that "one tower bridge", I don't know if it's always this, but you can name a building anything, but you can't change the number. So "One Tower Bridge" might actually be a different building from the number 1 on the road it resides, distinguished by spelling the word out, and to get the luxury association.

I'm American, and one of my childhood house had an address of 1. We were the only house on the street, though it was hardly a "street". The "street" was just our driveway. I can't tell you how many delivery people couldn't find it.

In Italy we count seconds like this "1 mandolino 2 mandolino 3 maccheroni 4 mandolino 5 mandolino 6 maccheroni 7 mandolino..." and so on. And, you guessed it, we do think in base 3. In fact our clocks have 3 hours on them. Also we cut pizza with spoons and we sleep standing up.

I don’t put any word in between, I just remember how long a second is and count up from 0. It’s always accurate too.

There is nothing confusing about saying 53 hundred. If you don't like it that's fine but don't try to justify it with bullshit like "it's less precise".

The title of this clip is misleading. This isn't about how numbers confuse Americans; more accurately, it shows how British numbering systems differ from American numbering systems.

I feel like as young people are reading out phone numbers less and as American media becomes more and more prevalent in the uk the whole double numbers thing might go away completely.

So this just popped up in my recommendations, and I'm glad as I found it interesting. The one reason I could see for the British numbering streets in opposite directions on each side would be for mail delivery. At least around us the delivery person walks up one side of the street, then crosses and walks down the other. Reverse numbering would allow them to more simply arrange the mail for delivery, as they would then be delivering to all addresses in ascending or descending order.

I think the most likely reason Americans will say 53 hundred has to do with street numbers as mentioned later. If you're between 53rd and 54th, you're in the 53 hundred block.

I think it is more to do with currency vs patterns. For money you would say 5 thousand 3 hundred because it is a full count. For the year it is about clarity...so two thousand one Etc until double digits...then use a 2x2 pattern "twenty ten" about half the time and "two thousand ten" the other. Phone numbers in patterns unique to the number because patterns are easier to remember: fivefivefive twothree sixthree. Or. 5 5 5 twelve ten. Same for credit cards and addresses...patterns. if it is a zip code, phone number, area code,or address, some areas say "oh" instead of zero. An American might say 12 hundred dollars. But would almost never say 1 thousand 2 hundred for an address. They would say. 4 oh 4 or 4 zero 4. For an address more often than 4 hundred 4 I don't know about other countries, but I have refused to take a new phone number that didn't have a nice pattern or rhythm!

Note on UK House numbers: numbered from 1 up to the number or buildings/houses, normally odd to the left, even to the right, counting out from village/town/city centre. The difference is often to do with size of plots/ frontages. If all the buildings/plots are evenly sized on a straight road, they tend to line up well. On my road however, because one number actually relates to a terraced block, with 5 buildings on one number (e.g. 3a, 3b etc), they all no longer line up. They're still usually sequential and counted in the same direction. With some oddities. Also, often 13 is omitted due to "bad luck" fears.

To us the event is known as September the 11th, as it avoids the date number format, which would be 11/9/2001 here.

In regards to the weird words when counting, particularly "elephant", that comes from old games of hide-and-seek among small children. By insisting the "finder" inserted a word between each number, you stopped them from just counting to 100 as fast as they could and finding people before they'd had a chance to hide away. As a kid with developing language skills, we learned the word "elephant" relatively early, while some people might never learn the word Picadilly until they actually visit London (though they're likely to encounter it before then by seeing Picadilly Circus on a Monopoly board)

Must be super rare because I had no idea what he was talking about, thought he was talking about American streets. In the North East here it’s odd on one side of the street, even on the other, both incrementing the same direction. I’ve never seen an example of what he means in my life. Maybe an issue of believing London is representative of the whole of the UK 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the UK they dial "nine, nine, nine" for emergency. In Australia we dial "triple zero".

Huh.. watched this video years ago and here it is back in my recommendations

Usually In the UK, if there are three identical numbers in a row e.g. 444 you say treble four, not triple four.

Triple is common in the U.S. but we still use treble in certain areas of society. For example, laws in the U.S. sometimes refer to 'treble damages' to mean three times the amount of damages. Likely a result of American law being based on British common law.

No modern UK £100 note exists, the largest is £50 but are not in regular use. Scottish £100 does exist though. I say triple and double. Houses are numbered ‘odd’ on one side of the street and ‘even’ on the other.

@@trondordoesstuff Problem is it depends on the town, and history. So there are some streets where the numbers go 1,2,3 all the way to the end and come back, so 1 is opposite 97 or something. Then there are the normal 1,3,5 opposite 2,4,6, Theme there's what you were saying with 1,3,5 opposite 96,94,92. Then if you have cul-de-sacs the street can go from 30 to 50 because 32-48 are in the cul-de-sac. There's no consistency and it can get very confusing sometimes. Then of course you also have some bits where they've added new houses into a street, so those start at 1 again and have a different "street" name (i.e Numberphile Street would have a new bit added called Numberphile Walk, or even something totally unrelated) but it's on the same street next to the houses that already existed. Can get extremely confusing

I wouldn't say that's very confusing. How about numbers in French? 70=sixty-ten 71=sixty-eleven 72=sixty-twelve ... 80=four-twenty (4*20=80) 81=four-twenty-and-one 82=four-twenty-two ... 90=four-twenty-ten (4*20+10=90) 91=four-twenty-eleven 92=four-twenty-twelve ... 99=four-twenty-ten-nine (because nineteen is basically ten-nine) Phone numbers and other sequences are always grouped into two number sections: 7398175017 Seventy-three ninety-eight seventeen fifty seventeen I was very confused while studying these...

I shouldn't have to use a calculator to read a damn number! If the phone is broken up into pairs, then wouldn't you use the same method on a phone number? 1234567 would be ten two, twenty ten 4, etc? It would take those twats an hour to give out a phone number!

The Danish number system is even more ridiculous. For example, the word for 55 is 'femoghalvtreds', which is a shorter form of the older 'femoghalvtredsindstyve'. This literally translates as 'five-and-half- third-times-twenty'. 'Half-third' as in half of the third nummer (3), so the word for 1.5 is 'halvanden' = 'half-second'. Phone and credit card numbers are always paired in Danish as well: 58670812 Fifty eight, sixty seven, zero eight, twelve.

Ukko Hertell you’re wrong, it’s not four-twenty-one, it’s four-twenty-and-one. The french put an “and” before every “one” in a 2 digit number
