minus-squareTheHottub@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·edit-21 year agoI only speak English but I have always thought we should pronounce 11 through 19 as tendy one, tendy two, tendy three, tendy four… tendy nine, twenty.
minus-squareTheHottub@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoEleven through nineteen do not follow the same naming convention that the twentys, thirtys, forties and so on do. For example, fifty one, fifty two… Instead of eleven it should be tenty one. The pattern should match.
