The separate counter for 10,000 does my head in
I lived in Korea for a while where they also do the ten thousand thing. I got used to it for numbers up to about ten million, but then would get quickly lost.
Since everybody was making a couple million won a month, knowing numbers that big was necessary.
Shhhh they don't need to know that yet.
Yeah, every time I see it i think "man"
Same, my brain can't comprehend the counting behind that
