Mate desu the word ghoti can be pronounced either as "fish" or entirely silently.
>>51536150

>Swiss and Belgian French make more sense than French French
They exist.
Septante, Octante, Nonante.
Just used in Belgium, Swiss and in some other dialects. Not in French or Quebec French.

I want to summon Denmark and their number system.
> 95 is pronounced "5 and 4½ times 20"
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea.
>>51536150
It's four twenty, as in 4*20=80. Gauls used to count with a base of twenty. This is a souvenir of that.
Why does English have such a nice number system when like every other language seems to have a shitty one?
It's actually 4-20, dude, lmao

Okay, tell me the result of dividing 10 by 4.
>>51540889
2.5

Are there any other ways of writing one million besides
1000000
1 000 000
1.000.000
1,000,000?
>>51540983
I use the bottom one 2bh, its looks better.
>>51540889
we write numbers like 1,234.56 (one thousand two hundred thirty-four point fifty six)
>>51537266
Shut it down
>>51536150
If you fucks want logical, Esperanto's that way
>>51541010
>not 1234,56
>>51537266
20 + 20 + 20 + 20
>>51541046
what do you use for bigger numbers? like 100,000,000,000
>>51541046
being real with you, separating numbers into hundreds, thousands, millions etc is just so much easier for working with large sums. it's indisputable
>>51537309
He's not wrong.
You have the standard 1 through 10, then it's "10 1", "10 2", and so on until 20, which is just "2 10". 30 is "3 10", and so on.
It makes total sense and is consistent as you go up.
>>51541046
Exactly. Not like that.
>>51536150
The Swiss say "huitante" instead.
>>51541046
writing numbers like is probably why you lost 2 World Wars.

>>51542393

So a cross between a millipede and a mallard. Wouldn't work for us
The French are eternally buttdevastated that their language isn't the most relevant western language.

In France, most of the people would write :
100 000 000 000
But the good way would be :
100.000.000.000,54 I suppose
