  Oh my god, this gave me flashbacks to French class in the 90s.

  I was born in the nineties and just moved to France. It’s a real struggle.

  Of all the things the French tried to “fix” during the revolution, it amazes me that they didn’t try to simplify the way they say large numbers. Or if they did, that it didn’t stick.

  I am trying to learn French, and haven’t got into large numbers yet, but I know about this, and I am dreading it.

    They invent the metric system, the beautiful base 10 system that makes math and measurements easy.

    …but didn’t apply anything similar to how they say numbers.

    it’s just a different base system with some extra quirks thrown in that’s been shoehorned into a decimal society. it isn’t too difficult once you know the story of how french language got there, you feel?
