Chinese say 1 hundred 9 ten 6 as an added data point

That pretty much makes sense - and the American manner makes sense, it's just so similar to what I'm familiar with, but slightly different, so looks really wrong to my brain.

Germans say 1 hundred 6 and 9 ten... Because Germans like to be special. Learning German makes me appreciate Chinese and English counting. Although the -hundred delimitation confuses foreign speakers. Such as 15-hundred is actually 1,500
