minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink28•2 months agoTo be fair, it is kinda dumb that four has a U, but forty doesn’t.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•2 months agoYeah, but then we’d have to say onety, twoty, threety and fivety as well. Just take it as its own word rather than four+ty and it’ll make more sense, I think.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink19•edit-22 months agoOkay but forty and fourty are pronunced the same way. And I’m sure fivety wouldn’t sound funny if thats how we started off. Edit: and seventy, eighty, ninety all use their original number spelling.

I’ve always been a proponent of onety-two.
