But the French make it sooooo easy for us to insult them, and I'm a Francophile! They're just suing him because they can't sue the US or Europe or Islamic countries.

Though one thousand is the same, 30,000 would translate as "three-10,000," 4 million would be "400-10,000" and 4 billion would be "40-100 million." GG Liddy has gone to saying 1,000 million instead of a billion so people get a better idea of just how big a number it is.
Some Americans even say "11 hundred" instead of 1,100.

Given their huge variety of counting numbers (inherited, AFAIK, from the Chinese) and the pointlessly unique names they have for the first ten days of the month, the Japanese should not be throwing stones.

Just ask anyone that ever took French if it was a waste of time. My wife, for instance, took French in high school. Took at least three more years in college.
She has often commented that if she had to do it over shed study Spanish. French was a complete waste of time.

Say what you will about the French, their language is hardly a failed one; for centuries it was the only language of international diplomacy. A quirky way manner of numeric expression has nothing to do with that.
This guy's as wrong as wrong can be.

Nothing's wrong. Just using it to say that the Japanese examples aren't so odd.

Say what you will about the French, their language is hardly a failed one; for centuries it was the only language of international diplomacy That is long ago in the past. French has become so unneeded and english so dominant that France has passed laws limiting the legal use of english. Especially when it comes to the internet and computers. They fear the death of their language. And in Quebec, I believe it is illegal to do business in english in any way, shape, or form.

There are no regular verbs in French. Not one. Any verb in common usage breaks at least one rule.
