When I was a nipperi used to think that if
200=Two hundred,
and
10=ten,
then shirley
20010=Two hundred and ten?
Just to be facetious of course.

I think a lot of kids come to that conclusionI remember asking my dad about it at 5 or 6, and then I explained it to a girl at school who was having the same problem. I'm sure the teachers got round to explaining basic numeracy at some point.
