The French numbering system is terrible. Finally memorized it all to save time, but damn. It makes the English system look sane and sensible.

For instance, 98 in English: ninety eight.

In French: quatre-vingt-dix-huit

That is quatre-vingt: “four times twenty”; dix: “ten”; huit: “(plus) eight.”

So, yes, that’s how you represent 98 in French. Four times twenty and ten plus eight.

French numbers are like the Powershell of numericity.
