Okay. Counting goes ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, etc... (obviously)
Here's the question: Why do the "teens" start at thirteen.. and not eleven?
Here: Third + teen = thir(d)teen = thirteen. Fourth + teen = four(th)teen = fourteen. Fifth + teen = fif(th)teen = fifteen.
Now, why not... First + teen = firs(t)teen = firsteen? Second + teen = secon(d)teen = seconteen? What's so special about the number three?
In conclusion.. because the English language is stupid and unorganized.. I'm creating two new words: Firsteen and Seconteen.
What the hell? While I'm at it, I'm renaming "English", "American".... 'cause we've been better than Britain for over 200 years. xd

beyond words. And before you ask, YES, in a bad way.
