Dear French Fries,

I know I am one of the most notorious murderers in your society, usually drowning my victims in buckets of Heinz's finest before wholly consuming them, but this whole subpoena thing really has me bummed out. Plus you have no jurisdiction over me. See you at lunch.

French has a fixation on the number twenty, right? Do you have to say ridiculous things like "four twenties minus two" for seventy-eight or is it the equally crazy "three twenties plus eighteen?"

hm.. 10 20 30 40 50 60, then '70' is '60-10' [incl. 60-11 - 60-19], and then 4-20 for '80.' '90,' as you might guess, is 4-20-10. Seriously.

[topaz]

oh, you beat me. XD

actually, the 70s are 60+10. but 80 is "4 20's," and 19 is "4 20s + 10." whaaat.
