une question sur le nombre

Yeah but I guess La Académie won't let them be that simple... Thank you!

A lot of people blame the Académie for a lot of things, I don't think that's fair. The Académie in particular has no power to impose anything, it merely registers what is already in common usage (granted, after a lot of time :p). If tomorrow, people in France start saying "septante", there is nothing the Académie can do about it. But the fact is that it is not in common use in France, and the Académie has nothing to do with that, either.

haha, you're right! I just joked from what I saw in the Stephen Fry's Planet Word from BBC in which la Académie was depicted something like a secret elite society that controls everything. Thank you again, for your kind reply.

just a little tip, it's l'Académie ! and by the way i 'm glad we don't have to say the numbers this way like the belges or in swiss^^
