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.

The *French* speaking Belgians (Waloons) have a word for ninety.

(my aunt lives in Brussels <g>)

It means they're smarter than regular french...
