Interesting, I have just learned that French has no real words for seventy, eighty, and ninety.
Seventy in French is: Soixante-dix; literally, sixty ten (or 60 + 10)
Eighty in French is: Quatre-vingts; literally four twenty (or 4 * 20)
Ninety in French is: Quatre-vingt-dix; literally four twenty ten (or 4 * 20 + 10)
What ever happened to the metric system?
