I’m not being passive at all.
First off, the remark about French and 92 is a jab at French in particular. No other romance language for some reason stalls out at 70 and cobbles together the 80s and 90s. There is a modern word, IIRC “neufant” or something that’s closer to “nine tens.”
To your point, base 10 counting, which we use because of how many fingers our species has. Whether we use base 8, 10, 12, etc. counting, the fact remains that all counting uses incremental increases like base 10.
9 rolls over to 1 unit in the 10s column. 19 rolls over to 2 units in the 10s column.
So if we say “4 x 20” instead of 80, were suddenly creating a second, nested, base 20 counting system (confusingly, using base 10 numbers!) within our usual base 10 system. So it’s the same in the sense that we are using numbers in general, but different in that it anchors the counting base in a weird way.
Let’s say I run a restaraunt and make omlettes. I can make a 2 egg, 3 egg, or 4 egg omlette for you. But the 4 egg omlette is tiny. Why? Because for the 4 egg omlette I use quail eggs. But only for the 4 and 5 egg omlettes. Order a 6 egg omlette and you’re getting a half dozen chicken eggs in some 100 square meter omlette. Multiples of 4 and 5, always quail eggs. It’s sort of like that.

Congratulations. You’ve just discovered how base 10 counting works.

It’s a Google Translate issue. It says some version of prst nogi/noši for every Slavic language.

Ok, so Albanian and Greek are the outliers here. Albanian is it’s own language group.
Though, to be fair to Greek, the word is for toe and finger is δάχτυλο. Dachtylo. Which is kind of like “digit.” Even in Koine Greek. Also, arm and hand are the same word, and leg and foot are the same word.
My Greek isn’t good enough to say for sure, but a pre-Google language manuals call both finger and toe dachtylo. Then specify hand or foot. Or…specify arm or leg? Arm digit? Leg digit?
Greece should be a grey “N/A”

The same language where ninety-two is “four twenties and a twelve”?

I’m suggesting the exact opposite.
That we tell stories of drama and tradgedy and greed and irrational decisions when we think that opportunity and resources aren’t limitations. As if those limits prevent normal people from losing their morals.
In reality, it’s just normal human behavior. The desire for wealth and power and greed doesn’t know or depend on how much money you have. We once fought to the death over water and livestock and crops. That hasn’t changed.

- Comment on Bell peppers are the same colours as traffic lights 2 weeks ago:
There’s some South African grocery chains that sold a 3 pack of red, yellow, green bell peppers.
Also, for some reason SA calls traffic lights “robots.” Supposedly, it’s because when traffic cops were replaced by signals, it was a “robotic traffic signal.”
So when you add these two things, you get…
