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”.
People seem to be angry at you for not knowing how the French count. My condolences. I found it funny tho. Have un upvote

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