    Yeah, 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.

      Okay 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.
