New testing conducted at France's oldest PV system have shown that its solar modules can still provide performance values in line with what the manufacturers promised.
Well, I DO know how the French count and compared to English it IS highly confusing. You can hardly convince me that saying “Four times twenty and ten” is as straight forward as saying “Nine tens”.
And just to be clear: I’m not some Yankee or Brit with a superiority complex, no, I am German, and we have our own shitty version of this: Instead of moving along the digits from highest to lowest, as in “Four hundreds and two tens and nine”, we do “Four hundred and nine and two tens”.
From 11 to 19 is always kind of weird in many languages. In Italian you go from essentially saying “one-ten” “two-ten”…“six-ten” to “ten-seven” “ten-eight” “ten-nine”. Then it goes in like in English. Why? No reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People seem to be angry at you for not knowing how the French count. My condolences. I found it funny tho. Have un upvote
I wish I could give fourtwentytennine upvotes to help

The dude was saying people are angry at you because they don’t understand, not that you dont understand.
And don’t even get started with Danish.
Wow, it’s like US uses metric system for counting and y’all do “imperial counting”
It indeed is.
It’s less confusing if you think of 70 and 90 as separate words without trying to analyze what its constituting words mean.
But etymologically, sure, it makes no sense.
English is less consistent, going from nine-teen to twenty-one. German stays consistent with its lower two digits.

What the hell is wrong with y’all?
Soixante-quinze virgule neuf vs soixante-dix-neuf virgule cinq.
Easy peasy!
Edit: it wasn’t easy peasy.
