numbers between 11 and 19 are decimal based, but the first six follow the (older?) "ones-and-tens" rule: "onze"(11) = un-dix = one-ten, "seize"(16) = six-dix = six-ten, while the last three follow the "tens-and-ones" rule: "dix-sept"(17) = ten-seven. Above twenty, English and French follow the "tens-and-one" rule: twenty-one / vingt-et-un (20+1), while German goes the contrary: einundzwanzig (1+20)

In romanian, when counting different objects or reffering to their number, if the number of objects is below 20, one puts in a sentece the numeral and the name of the object,for example "10 telephones = 10 telefoane". However, if the number is equal to or greater than 20, one adds another construct,

In the old
British currency system (pre-1971), there were 20 shillings to the pound. This was still the case under the decimal system introduced in 1971 for those shilling coins still in circulation (no more were minted and the shilling coin was demonetised in 1990), because the shilling - which was

system. "Eleven"/"elf" (English/German respectively) mean "one left", whereas "twelve"/"zwölf" mean "two left". From 13 to 19 the decimal system is used. The two number words are linked or melted into one word and follow the "ones-and-tens" rule: thirteen / dreizehn = three-ten. In French all

valued at 12 pence in the old currency - was re-valued at 5 pence in the new system. Thus, the old shilling coins still accumulate 20 to the pound, because 20 x 5 new pence = 100 new pence = 1 pound (whereas in the old system, 1 pound equalled 240 pence instead of 100 pence).

For this system, what letters do you think should be for 10-19?? Most people say 10=A, 11=B, 12=C, 13=D, 14=E, 15=F, 16=G, 17=H, 18=I, and 19=J. However, because an I can be easy to interpret as a 1, I prefer 18=J and 19=K.
423:
While I agree that it is a problem, most sources I remember actually using the letter-digits for vigesimal use I and J, not J and K, for 18 and 19. Maybe it could be fixed by font-forcing or using lowercase, though.
