This isn`t quite as bad as you think... Well, for 1,000,000 it is, but for larger numbers it seems quite normal for people to sort of count backward before saying the number. When checking numbers, it seems like everyone (at least around me) will do a sort of whispered 千、万、十万、百万 and so on under their breath before actually reading the number.
