I'm not polidactylic so I am in posession of the standard number of digits but let me use this thread as an opportunity to express my amusement at your, English speaking people, using two different terms for digits on feet and hands - in my country we use only one term for both; you only need to precise what digits you are talking about. Typically, one uses this term with no description supporting, while refering to their fingers, while when speaking of their toes, one says about the "fingers of the feet".
English is not my first language either, and I too find this to be a silliness in the English language. My feet have fingers just like my hands!
