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.
Two wugs, right?
no

It would be eleven eleven if it's following the pattern, is it not
Or oneteen onety one
It isn't not, indeed.
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.
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
could you please repeat that?
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.
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 =)
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.
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".
actually it's 10001010111
ONE ONE ONE ONE
One eleventy one.
Eleven eleventy eleven
Eleventyleven
One eleventh one
