Just the names doesn't account for 80 + 10, 80 + 11, ..., 80 + 19.

Isn't it like quatre-vingts and ten, eleven, etc?

[jacobolus]

97 is pronounced like "four-score-ten-seven".

[jacobolus]

Who is downvoting this, and why? Quatre-vingt-dix-sept is literally the French version of four-score-ten-seven.

[kzrdude]

but with notes:

- quatre-vingt is the name for 80 - dix-sept is the name for 17

so we could also say it's eighty-seventeen.
