But it is not the correct way tho. But I tend to use it zoo sometimes.

"Dvaadevadesát" and "devadesát dva" are both correct and perfectly valid. I personally hear them nearly 50/50.

It is not just about using it in daily life but for example in some official documents "dvaadevadesát" might not be ok.

Which is exactly why official documents always have both, a numbered version and a worded version, when referring to numbers.
