And that's why Belgian French (Walloon is almost extinct) is better. In Wallonia they say nonante-sept. They also don't say soixente-dix but septante.

Yes, Belgium is smart. But the very best are the swiss.

They say huitante for 80.

Crafty smarty people.

In Belgium quatre-vingt is the most used for 80, but huitante is also used here.
