MODERATORS
Thanks. Do you know the history of that?
Maybe the Danish don't just count with their fingers to 10, but include their toes... So 10 fingers + 10 toes = 20?
"Four score and seven years ago"โ from the Gettysburg Address... Many languages have or had words for counting in 20's. They've just mostly gone out of fashion.
