This looks like it will be quite useful for anyone practicing languages that have their own word for 10,000 (Chinese, Japanese, etc), thanks!

In Chinese, the number "100,000" is not read as "100 thousand", rather it is "10 ten-thousands". This makes translating numbers in the range of 100,000-10,000,000 a bit awkward if you are not used to it.

Norwegian has a similar thing, mostly used by older folks.

"72" might be "seventy-two" but it is also "two plus seventy."

Hindi and related languages have the same thing. Lakh is 100k. Crore is 100 lakh.
