Found an interesting [href="http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/12/30/46595.aspx]thread[/href] on counting on another forum after a Google search. This is a post made by a dane:
"'en og halvfjerdsindstyve'
is a very old way of saying numbers in Denmark and is most often used in trading - especially when you want to 'stress' the value.
When we need to be correct with number saying (on checks for instance) we use the other 'way': syvtien (syv-ti-en -> seven-ten-one).
In every day tongue we use the common way: 'en og halvfjerds'.
This is of course common Danish (Rigsdansk) - if you venture into the countryside you will encounter other systems. Even though we are only a little over 5 million in population, and span nothing more than a bread crumb on a world map, we still have dialects used everyday, which are quite impossible to understand for non-dialected Danes. If we were to have a general vote on the subject, I think most younger Danes would just as much scrap the language and use English instead."
Oh, and this was in the first post: "en og halvfjerdsindstyve", literally, "one and half-four-times-twenty"
There's a mention of Irish people using half four as 4:30 while we Nordic countries mean 3:30.
BTW, we call the current century the 20th (in Sweden at least) while you call it the 21st in English.
