well, here we are

Thankyou to everyone for the helpful replies and context - so turns out a cockatoo broke our rocket.

A ... spokesperson?

You'll all be pleased to know that this rocket finally launched today and it blew up immediately

Goddamit i hate this fucking post. I hate it because obviously if “twelve” followed the same pattern as the other teen numbers it wouldn’t be “twoteen” it would be “seconteen”. Think about it. It’s not “threeteen” it’s “thirteen” as in “third”. It’s not “fiveteen” it’s “fifteen” as in fifth. So with that in mind, you count “first, second, third, fourth, fifth,” and so on, so eleven would be “firsteen” and twelve would be “secondteen” or “seconteen”. “Firsteen, seconteen, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen….” It just drives me absolutely mad everytime i see this post that this obvious pattern was overlooked and i cant hold in my rage anymore.

no i didn’t skip that song because i don’t like it, i skipped it because i don’t have the emotional stability to listen to it now
