That is the English language for you Rich, fourty is an easy one to get wrong. I mean, where is the sense in having four, fourteen and then bloody forty, then we have fourth as well so forty really is the odd one out. Confusing things further is Forth, as in go forth and multiply.
Do the French have such a convoluted language mate, I wouldn't know because I never got past the introductory bit to it in High School, which made things rather interesting in a trip round a big cave somewhere in the south of France when a young lady who spoke French and Spanish but not English was giving the wife and I a guided tour. Especially the bit where she was trying to explain about the prehistoric phallus that was sat there, and some of the cave drawings.
