No more time to tell how, this is the season of what / Now is the time of returning with our thought

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 92 points 2 years ago

Should be “oneteen onety one”

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 59 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago
[-] mycatiskai@lemmy.one 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

Agreed, but wait until you see this

[-] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Eleven eleven CE

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 18 points 2 years ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago

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

[-] TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago
[-] bstix@feddit.dk 5 points 2 years 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.

Oneteen Oneteen

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

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[-] SleepwalkingMan@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago
[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Wouldn't eleventeen be 21?

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Should be oneteen onety one.

[-] DeidraTheMad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

ONE ONE ONE ONE

[-] theletterw@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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".

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Eleventyleven

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Honest question: in German, do you say "elf elf"?

[-] _Gandalf_the_Black_@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago
[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Awesome! If I ever make an anime, it's going to be called "Elf Hunter Elf"!

(edit: I've already planned the basic story arc and 4 main characters.)

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago
