    I’m on numbers, days of the week, and like holy shit, math nerds could not have come up with a simpler system.

      LOL I know what you mean. I stumble with the measure words here and there, like apparently saying "二个。。。“ is incorrect as it should be "两个。。。“ .

        Ha, sorry to disappoint you, but 二个 is not incorrect exactly. Exception incoming. Example: 第二个 would be correct over 第两个.

          Lol no worries, I’d rather someone point out stuff than not at all. Looking back on my textbook I found that subchapters use ”第一节“ and “第二节” format, so its main usage would be exclusively for listings and ordinal numbers?

            Yes that is it’s main usage. There’s another exception though that breaks this rule. You place a 十 in front of 二 and you can link the character in the same way as 两.
