This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well, English does. Not my native language.
Yes, my point exactly. No "onety-one", because "eleven".
Same with other languages.
But "thirteen", "fourteen" etc, you think are as regular as "twenty one", "thirty three" "forty five"?
It is base-10 all the way through, but I'm just pointing out that probably at one point in history, even other languages, for some reason, counted 1-20 differently than 20+ numbers and they sort of stuck.
