    In my language, “6 7” reads “six sept”, which sounds like “cis het”, a shorten form for “cisgender heterosexual”.

        It was an attempt not to always emphasize the fact of being French.

        But obviously, even in good faith, humility does not suit us well.

          If I say I am using Plasma 6.5, people will guess I use NixOS or Arch, even if I don’t say that separately.
          That’s kinda similar, except that you were much more specific.

            If you say something on Lemmy, people will guess you refer to Linux

        You mean to tell me that the language where one says 3x20+7 to say sixty seven makes 6-7 mean something?!

          Excuse me. But the French damn well have a word for sixty: soixante. And the counting keeps going normally right up to 70, which reads as Sixty Ten. That goes up to Sixty Nineteen, and THEN Four Twenties.

            That’s honestly so much more cursed than I thought! I seriously thought that in French it was just pure base20 but nope!

          Of course! The French language is so meaningless that sometimes things actually mean something.
