๐ค Technically there are septante, octante/huitante, nonante, but it's either considered local to some region (belgium, switzerland, etc) or old-school
Septante, huitante, nonante

That's the crazy part.
What the fuck is wrong with people believing "octante" is used anywhere??? This is so prevailing. As far as I know no-one on earth uses "octante". We say "huitante" And the belgians were undecisive and still use "quatre-vingt"
It seems to be the old-school version for france. I'll edit the comment !
Re-reading my comment, I seen that it seems a bit mean, sorry. I just cannot believe how widespread this misconception is.
No worry, its understandable. Im not using those terms regularly so you were in the right position for pointing out this one does not exist anymore.
