This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As much as I love shitting on the French for being terrible with numbers (seriously, how the fuck is the word for '99' 'four-twenties, a ten, and a nine'?!?) this one seems intentional so you can feel when you run out.

The Danish are similarly bad with numbers as the French

We're not bad with numbers, just at naming them. 😉 But that's why we pretty much always use abbreviations.

Abbreviations. Of numbers. Don't think about it. 😅
