they do with numbers. You say e.g.: thirty-five (French: trente-cinq;
Italian:Henriette FransPradera
trenta-cinque)
The french do _not_ have a reasonable counting system... take their ninety-six, for example: 4*20+16. I wonder if that makes them better mathematicians :) Other than that, I agree. Though I rather quickly got used to the german way. Sometimes it seems more logical.
