Interesting, because it is not snobbish at all to say
"quatre-vent-dix-neuf" which other French-speaking nations have replaced
by "nonante-neuf" long ago.
In English, one would be considered snobbish when starting a sentence
with, say, "Four score and seven", let alone "Four score and nineteen".
In contrast, "ut" rather than "do" appears harmless.
To a foreigner, that is.
Doh.
