I'm Counting on It
I would like to propose a change to the English language. This change is in the area of our numbering system and would make it more consistent. I would like to start first with the words "First, Second and Third". I think it would make more sense if they become "Oneth, Twoth, Threeth". This would cause them to then fall in line with those that follow, "Fourth, Fifth, Sixth" and so on.
Next I would like to move on to our numbering system, specifically the numbers 10-19. I think they should be changed as follows:
I think if we start with these changes, we can make the English language much easier to learn and friendlier to our foreign friends. Can I count on you? Come on, who's with me?

| Currently | New |
| Ten | Onety |
| Eleven | Onety-one |
| Twelve | Onety-two |
| Thirteen | Onety-three |
| Fourteen | Onety-four |

| Sixteen | Onety-six |
| Seventeen | Onety-seven |
| Eighteen | Onety-eight |
| Nineteen | Onety-nine |
