The other day I decided I would stop saying quatre-vingt-dix (4, 20, 10 = 90) instead I would say huit-dix-dix (8, 10, 10) or even deux-quarante-dix (2, 40, 10) and shit like that
to add some context i forgot about it an hour after
Alooors… Une bavette de trois livres et deux-cent trois vingt et douze grammes… Ca fera deux-vingt et sept euros et deux-vingt et cinq centimes s’il vous plait.
Tenez, voici un billet de deux-vingt et dix tout neuf !
Et voici votre monnaie, deux-vingt et quinze centimes et un comprimé d’aspirine.

Why not use the existing septante, octante, neunante?
idk i was tired and i tought it was the funniest thing
I’d actually be down for huitante, in order to keep the latin root like other numbers instead of the greek one
Ask the guys in Modern times who decided that fick it we will go for the nonsensical method.
Depends where though, Belgium and Swiss use septante…
Yes, they are the sensible players in this game
