@sarahbecan compared to... one thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven ? 😏
@darkoneko Colloquial spoken English usually breaks it down to "nineteen ninety-seven." I never heard a shorter way to say 1997 in French than "mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-sept"! Did French speakers shorten it?
@sarahbecan @darkoneko Yes. En 97.
@sarahbecan @darkoneko En quatre-vingt dix-sept
