🤓 Technically there are septante, octante/huitante, nonante, but it's either considered local to some region (belgium, switzerland, etc) or old-school

    What the fuck is wrong with people believing "octante" is used anywhere??? This is so prevailing. As far as I know no-one on earth uses "octante". We say "huitante" And the belgians were undecisive and still use "quatre-vingt"

    It seems to be the old-school version for france. I'll edit the comment !

    Re-reading my comment, I seen that it seems a bit mean, sorry. I just cannot believe how widespread this misconception is.
