theuberwalrus, I wonder what the largest combination of two numbers this is true for.

DieguiTux8623, After this I won’t ever complain about English spelling system any more.
Other European languages having phonetic spellings fail miserably e.g.
- Italian undici + due = dodici + uno
- Spanish: once + dos = doce + uno
- Fr*nch: onze + deux = douze + un
- Romanian: unsprezece + doi = doisprezece + unu (almost there! only a “u” remains)
ultra, Have my upvote for menioning Romania
frank, 日本語：十一 + 二 = 十二 + 一
It works in japanese just fine, in large part because it’s (written and phonetic) just “ten one” and “ten two”
