In Russia we call PS/2 “пс пополам”, literally “ps divided by two”. Reminds me of French numbers system where they call say 99 “quatre vingt dix neuf”, literally a “four times twenty plus ten plus nine”

The French are weird 🥐

Low key their numbering is the worst I've ever seen.

@Stuxnet part of Switzerland speaks French too and the german speaking students (I once was one of them) have to learn French because of it.
But we were allowed to use Swiss French dialect and instead of soixante dixe-neuf (60 + 19) up to quatre vingt dixe-neuf actually had distinct names like septant (70) or nonont (90).

@Stuxnet
Spanish is a close second, needing a different way to express the same numbers depending on which country you're in.

@alexbrooklyn no you Englisher are weird instead 😁

@rutee07 is... is it the language of Love? I'm quite fluent lol

The French numbering system is base 20. That's pretty neat.

@p100sch There's also two other variations for "80":
- huitante
- octante (older and less used nowadays)

@rutee07 nice

@lanfiro haha same with Russian. Just imagine learning this

@uyouthe Is this supposed to be a little drawing of waves or grass?

@uyouthe looks like every furry's wet dream uwu

@uyouthe shishish? Wtf does it mean? 😁

@cafebabe 13-dick?

@rutee07 lol... What language is that!? I'd luv to learn it! Wait... "Awesome" is an English word 🙂

And I thought the Germans and their three-and-thirty was a bit weird

@cafebabe btw the French only changed to long scale in 1961, and the British changed to short scale in 1974.
