    Ehh, i’m not giving France a pass either.

    The answer to 100 - 8 should not be four twenties and a twelve. We’re counting, not making change.

    French counting is bunk. Way, Way, better then Denmark though apparently

      the thing nobody mentions is that the 4x20 part became a word that just means 80 in people’s mind, it kinda not literal anymore, but the Swiss and Belgian ways are still better (edit the 4x20+10 is similarly just 90)
