Problems with French Numbers - Numberphile

Dr_Q says...

I just want to add that it's only in France, and not in French.

In french as spoken in Belgium (and i assume in Quebec too), they actually have words for 70 (septante), 80 (octante) and 90 (nonante). French people know these but don't like them because "it sounds weird". The more you know.
