minus-squareTrainguyrom@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 hours agoYou mean to tell me that the language where one says 3x20+7 to say sixty seven makes 6-7 mean something?!
minus-squareMajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up5·8 hours agoExcuse me. But the French damn well have a word for sixty: soixante. And the counting keeps going normally right up to 70, which reads as Sixty Ten. That goes up to Sixty Nineteen, and THEN Four Twenties.
