French will never not be funny to me.

They've got all these cool, long words for no reason WHATSOEVER.

NO WAIT I HAVEN'T COME TO THE POINT YET, LISTEN TO ME.

SO,

A computer, alright, a computer is called a computer in a LOT of other languages. AT WORST, IT CHANGES TO LIKE, COMPUTADOR OR SOMETHING.

the french call it an ordinateur.

THE FRENCH ARE SO GOOD AT COMING UP WITH THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT THEY SOMEHOW ENDED UP CALLING GERMANY L'ALLEMAGNE.

(and you don't even pronounce the G😭💀)

MANY COUNTRIES HAVE A RELATIVELY SIMPLER NUMBERIC SYSTEM, ALRIGHT?

ONE IS ONE, 71 IS SEVENTY-ONE, NINETY IS NINETY, RIGHT?

the fucking french.

It's all fun and games until you hit 70.

Because no, 70 doesn't have it's own fancy name like 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.

It's called.

sixty-ten.

SIXTY-TEN.

YOU'D THINK THEY'D GO BACK TO NORMAL ON SEVENTY ONE, RIGHT?

WRONG.

71 IS SIXTY-ELEVEN.

AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE.

EIGHT IS 4-20.

FOUR. TWENTY.

EIGHT ONE?

FOUR TWENTY THE FUCKING ONE.

AND NINETY?????

FOUR TWENTY TEN.

NINETY SEVEN????

FOUR TWENTY TEN-SEVEN.

THEY'RE TOO GOOD AT COMPLICATING THINGS, ALRIGHT?

France is not like other girls™

YOU'D THINK WITH SUCH EXCELLENT NAMING SKILLS, THEY'D COME UP WITH A BETTER NAME FOR, SAY, A POOL?

they call it.

the piscine.

which is pronounced as.

la piss-een.

piss.

in.

These two years I studied french, just for something like.

a piscine.
