If you order a "demi" (half of a pint) of beer in πŸ‡«πŸ‡· you will have 25cl because at some point πŸ‡«πŸ‡· decided a pint is 50cl.
Meanwhile in πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ a pint is 1L (100cl) so if you order a "demi" you will have 50cl - half a Litre - which make more sense.
(Or maybe it's just a πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ ruse to get french tourist buy more - that would be funny)

Oh in breton language, there’s the same logic : 2 + 10 + 4Γ—20

Plus, 99 can be 9 + 10 + 4 Γ— 20 OR simply 100 - 1 (why bother?)

The 20 basis is a celtic heritage that french also took

Aber was die da machen ist ja noch wahnsinniger.

Und dann beschweren sich die Leute, dass wir in Deutschland die Zahlen vertauschen.

edit - although clicking through the link, I guess it's only considering English for the UK.
