Eleven eleven 😎
No more time to tell how, this is the season of what / Now is the time of returning with our thought
Should be “oneteen onety one”
🎶So tonight I'm gonna party like it's oneteen onety one.🎶
Eleven hundred eleven, am I the only one who'd actually say it that way?
There are two of us
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.
Make that four
willing to try if you are...

Eleven eleven CE
The hundreds are implied. It's fine to call it eleven hundred eleven.
If the hundreds are implied, then it's just eleven eleven.
Precisely
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.

If anything, it's oneteen onety one.
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
1.1.1.1
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 =)

1221: eleventeen eleventy eleven
actually it's 10001010111
ONE ONE ONE ONE
I remember counting using onety-one etc. before I started kindergarten 😆 no idea how I still remember that but I do.
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".
Onteen Onteen?
The same way you say 2011

Honest question: in German, do you say "elf elf"?
Elf hundert elf
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.)
