    That's why French will be slowly assimilated. First, you'll start hearing "novente deux" for 92, and before you know it, the British will have control over the force de frappe.
    Actually, "nonante deux". The Belgians use it already.

    Actually, in Europe now they're using septante (70), octante (80) and nonante (90).
    Only in Belgium.

    I should think the Poles (for instance) would find that confusing.
