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

Assman@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 2y (4 replies)

There are two of us

mycatiskai@lemmy.one · 10 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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.

Oneteen onety one

affiliate@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

No, eleventeen is 21. Eleventy is 110.

PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y

Agreed, but wait until you see this

strawberrysocial@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It would be eleven eleven if it's following the pattern, is it not

kadotux@sopuli.xyz · 8 pts · 2y

Or oneteen onety one

Pothetato@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 2y

It isn't not, indeed.

Smoregoose@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 23 pts · 2y

Eleven eleven CE

bstix@feddit.dk · 18 pts · 2y (4 replies)

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

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 2y (3 replies)

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

TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y

Precisely

bstix@feddit.dk · 5 pts · 2y

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.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 2y

could you please repeat that?

Chais@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 2y

If anything, it's oneteen onety one.

guyrocket@kbin.social · 8 pts · 2y

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.

Wouldn't eleventeen be 21?

rustydrd@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

Should be oneteen onety one.

DeidraTheMad@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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 pts · 2y

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

creation7758@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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)

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 pts · 2y

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".

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

Elf hundert elf

Rolando@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

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.)

lugal@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 2y

They all start with a 1, including the last one
