To be fair, English has a bit of that too if you look at the first 20 digits

One, two, three... Eleven, twelve, thirteen... Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three... Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three...

If English was fully decimal the teens would simply be "Onety-one, onety-two, onety-three" but it's not because fuck following conventions!

Winner. I'd forgotten about that.

Something thankfully not all French-speaking countries agree. But the ground apple is pretty much universal. The alternative "patate" is also widely used,

Also apples used to be small, tart, and acidic.

You wouldn't eat them as a dessert but as a basis for brewing alcohol.

It's wild how much fruits changed in recent times.

So much so that most zoo are stoppimg giving them to animals and switched to more leafy greens. They have gotten so sugary that they promoted tooth decay and obesity.

Oh, that explains the myth that Adam and Eve at an apple, when a specific fruit is never mentioned.

Pineapples are a freak fruit though.They grow on some kind of weird weed like some kind of joke.

"Apple" is Old English for "fruit", not specifically apple.

And apparently "pineapple" for the tropical fruit predates "pine cone", OE used "pine nut".

Earliest use of "pineapple" is 14th century translation for "pomegranate".

OMG I love road apple pie!

That one's a euphemism, though. I don't think it counts. That's not the real name that normal (non-horse-people, all horse people are abnormal; I know, because I married one) use.
