    Is the Wikipedia article on granularity wrong when it says the USA uses middle-endian addresses when there’s both an apartment and a street address, e.g. “200 2nd Ave. South #358”?

    For me big endian is logical, while middle endian just seems batshit insane.

    While English messes up 11-19 when saying or writing with words, other languages like German keep up the ridiculous small-endian names even after 20 (einundzwanzig is “one and twenty”).
