> it can also be read as one and five. However, it is not fifteen.

Can you help me wrap my brain around this? Does it mean six? I'm struggling to understand how a word can mean two numbers and how this would actually be used in a conversation.

Thanks. I'm curious and trying to search for this to understand just returns anime.

Ichi is the word for 1. Go is the word for 5.

I mean, it wasn't really a trick.

It's truly the exact same as someone saying "onefive can be read as (one five), but it's not (fifteen)" - to a non-English speaker I mean - I don't read 'prank' in that statement
