Just in case it's not clear, you need to click on his profile and read the first word of each of his last 150 tweets, which insanely include tweets announcing his father's passing.

Absolutely jaw dropping!

Just scroll through it and appreciate the dedication to the bit…

So feels like a cannonball
That’s stuck in my chest
This weird concoction
I just can’t digest, I tell ya

I remember the shabbos I ate it
I wouldn’t believe that so soon I could hate it

It tasted marvelous
A wonderful snack
An hour later
I was flat on my back

Oy, cholent is its name
Heartburn is its game
It looks so innocent
It’s deadly just the same

If I had my way
I’d ship it all away
And drop it on the Arabs
They’ll be gone in a day

So let me give you folks
Some friendly advice
Don’t eat that cholent
'Cuz it’s not worth the price

And you can mark my words
That this will happen real soon
Cholent powered rockets
Will take man to the moon

Beautiful! If there's anyone I envy, it's these people.

IME French people aren't even aware of the "math" in their numbers, they just say it naturally. Obviously if given a second of thought they do realize that there's math there.

I never knew about Danish.

(If you click on the first tweet and read the various replies, there's a detailed map about how to say eighty which extends also to Hebrew and Arabic).

Just imagine צוויי אנדערטהאלבן פופציק would be how one said 77 in Yiddish. That's more or less the equivalent of the Danish version of 92 (presumably 77 would be similarly convoluted).

AFAIK that isn't an absolute number, but rather an idiom. Though IINM the actual Yiddish idiom is א יאהר מיט א מיטוואך, or א יובל.
