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

56
- There are two of us
  
  13
  
  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

29
- yeah eleventeen would be 111, which coincidentally is the same as tenteen one

  No, eleventeen is 21. Eleventy is 110.

Everyone's focused on 1111.

Eleven eleven CE

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

18
- If the hundreds are implied, then it's just eleven eleven.

  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.

  Precisely

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

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.

Oneteen Oneteen

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

Wouldn't eleventeen be 21?

- Should be oneteen onety one.

- 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

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

- 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 forgot it was spelled forty until you reminded me. wtf

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

5
- 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".

The same way you say 2011

  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.)

8888:

7777:
