It should be ten-one

I like "firsteen" "seconteen" "thirteen." I'm helping to replicate the sound changes.

As long as we are changing things, why not get rid of the order shift as well? Teenty one, teenty two, teenty three, teenty four, etc.

I like this. Not only does it feel right, but it also sounds like they're the smallest, cutest numbers. They're teenty.

The "-ty" already means ten so it makes more sense to say onety-one, onety-two, etc.
