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

[–] mycatiskai@lemmy.one 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

Agreed, but wait until you see this

[–] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Eleven eleven CE

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] 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

[–] 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.

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

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

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 (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

1221: eleventeen eleventy eleven

[–] theletterw@lemm.ee 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.

[–] 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".

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] _Gandalf_the_Black_@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] 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.)
