The Indian counting system - confusing..? - Page 2

I think others should adopt India's system. Lakh is easier to pronounce than Hundred Thousand. Crore is easier to pronounce than Hundred Million. 😛

But it's fun na. You only have ten, hundred, thousand, million, billion. We use all these plus lakh and crore too as intermediate stops. More names, more fun. 😛
And just why should we bother about how the whole world counts when we're counting money or solving a maths problem inside our country. 😛

Indian Currency is based on a logical metric system. As is most other countries.

US Currency is based on the whims of eccentric people. We still measure weight in 16 ozs = 1 Lb instead of 100 g = 1 kg.

Forget India. It happens when you cross the border north or south. 😆 We are a strange land.
