These numbers never vary their termination, except un, which makes une in the feminine: cent, which makes cents or cens in the plural; mille is written mil, when we write the date of the year; in this case cent does not

vary; as,

cent quatre-vingt-seize.

The words sepante, octante, and nonante are obsolete; huitante and neu vante, have been made use of only by some calculators. The advantage of admitting these words, septante, huitante, neuvante, which preserve their roots, is obvious enough to those who have numbers to put down, in figures under the telling of another person. Six-vingt (six score) was the common appellation for 120 in the last century, but has been abandoned: quatre-vingt (four score) will probably soon experience the same fate. Those false numerical appellations are entirely rejected by Mathematicians.
