[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 months ago

🎶So tonight I'm gonna party like it's oneteen onety one.🎶

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 59 points 8 months ago

Eleven hundred eleven, am I the only one who'd actually say it that way?

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 months ago

There are two of us

[-] mycatiskai@lemmy.one 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I make three, anyone else agree?

Edit: added above this. Orig: There is at least eleven hundred and eleven of us but if we reply one at a time this is going to be a long chain.

Everyone's focused on 1111.

Me: Twelvedy Twooty Two

[-] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Agreed, but wait until you see this

[-] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago

Eleven eleven CE

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 18 points 8 months ago

The hundreds are implied. It's fine to call it eleven hundred eleven.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 42 points 8 months ago

If the hundreds are implied, then it's just eleven eleven.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 5 points 8 months ago

Yes. It's eleven hundred and eleven, so you can say that William the 2nd inherited Puglia in eleven eleven. He was only 16, so his mother Adela was the actual ruler from eleven eleven to eleven fourteen.

[-] TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Precisely

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

could you please repeat that?

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If anything, it's oneteen onety one.

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Isn't it "eleventy eleven"? I'm sure It is if youre Pooh...or Tigger...

And if you're expecting English to be totally consistent you're going to have a bad time.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

To paraphrase Ron Swanson, everything before 1776 was a mistake.

[-] Colalextrast@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Oneteen Oneteen

Edit: after doing a bit of research, I'm changing this to Firsteen Firsteen

[-] SleepwalkingMan@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

1.1.1.1

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 8 months ago

1221: eleventeen eleventy eleven

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 8 months ago

Wouldn't eleventeen be 21?

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

Should be oneteen onety one.

[-] DeidraTheMad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

The 4 year old in our house consistently adds in 'eleventeen' in her counting, so we all think it's a real number now lol

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

Words exist because they are used, so it can be a "real" word within your family-lect =)

[-] creation7758@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Nah. That's twoty one. Which is followed by twoty two. Just like 44 is fourty four. (don't tell me it's spelled forty I know)

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

i forgot it was spelled forty until you reminded me. wtf

[-] ARk@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

actually it's 10001010111

[-] theletterw@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

I remember counting using onety-one etc. before I started kindergarten 😆 no idea how I still remember that but I do.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

tbf it probably would have been that if there wasn't a period where we counted a lot of stuff in twelves and twenties, that left special words for 11, 12, and 20, with 12 and 20 especially getting the superspecial words "dozen" and "score".
