  • … I would say that’s more about 10 and 12 having their on words, we don’t say ten two, it’s a bit of a shortcut? Then after 16 we stopped caring and didn’t make new words, sticked to 10 7, 10 8, 10 9 for some reason, that IS weird. Unless you take into account that base 10 wasn’t always the norm and maybe it made sense to have dedicated words for numbers up to 12 or 16 because they were commonly used quantities or alternative counting bases idk. See I can find (blurry memories of, needs sources) good reasons ;p The point being people say 4 20 12 but only think 92.

    I never heard anyone pronouncing the english chat as the french chat. Can confirm some people are saying GPT in french and not in english, making it awkward, but some make the effort. edit: I just noticed who is writing this and it’s canadian french, don’t know much about that
