I get the impression that Þjóðleikhúsið[1] is, or at least was in the 1970s–1990s, quite intensively involved in Iceland's children's TV programme development. -
You remember these glasses from your last trip to #France, I guess.@jwildeboer They should fix their translations, though. Can't tell about Dutch, but all other languages except French are wrong ("lot de 6" → "lot of 6" instead of "set of 6", etc.)

If you mix the English-style century-based year number constructing with the German-style swap-two-lowest-digits number constructing, year 2345 will be three-and-twenty-hundred-five-and-forty.@riley Ah, yeah, had seen that, and I admire who invented the Kaktovik numeral notation!
