Wait, spanish doesn't do the "we don't have a word for that number, just do math instead" counting system?? I thought the romance languages were tight!
Well, there isn't a word for 99 in Spanish or English, in both languages we say 90+9, so that counts as maths.
If you are asking about words for 70, 80 and 90, that is a peculiarity of French, and not even all dialects, some dialects have septante, huitante/octante and nonante for those.
