yeah eleventeen would be 111, which coincidentally is the same as tenteen one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, eleventeen is 21. Eleventy is 110.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everyone's focused on 1111.

Eleven eleven CE

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

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

Wouldn't eleventeen be 21?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Should be oneteen onety one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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)

1221: eleventeen eleventy eleven

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 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: eleven, dozen, and score.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 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.)
