Sorry Stefan, but I strongly doubt that "nonante" for 90 and "septante" for 70 are widely used in Francophonie. The most widely used term should take precedence over regionalisms. https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/nonante Normand "from Québec, Canada where "nonante" is *never, ever* used." _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
