It'd just be eleven eleven, we don't say twenty two hundred twenty four.

I like how your example was the year 2224 which I have never heard anyone say and not like 1994

Clearly you do not wear a monocle or a top hat but this is precisely how those of us that do do say it. Good evening madame.

Eleventy eleven.

Making 119 eleventy nine and 1110 eleventy ten, and therefore, this is eleventy eleven.

I did the math.

What happened in Twoteen Twooty Two?

Now, my story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" cause that Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty"...

People give me a weird look when I spell out dates like this. It's easier for me to say it that way and it's correct. I don't get why people are iffy about it

You must understand!
Turn one into ten,
And let two go,
And make three the same,
So you'll be rich.
Lose the four!
From five and six,
So says the witch,
Make seven and eight,
That's how it's done:
And nine is one,
And ten is none.
That's the witch's one-one-one!

It's simple - either you like consistency (oneteen onety one), or you're just a chaotic, inconsistent lunatic.

The really weird case is "two thousand" to "two thousand nine", then we revert back to "twenty ten" and onward.

I mean what are you gonna say, twenty nine? That just sounds like 29. Guess you could say Twenty Oh Nine but that feels awkward.

Isn't what we call AI usually large language models, and the one thing they are good at supposedly language patterns?

As such it should get this correct IMHO.

I asked GPT 3.5, Claude 3, Llama 3, and Mixtrial and they all said “eleven eleven.” No fun.

It's not that LLM will do that exact thing, they have a big dataset so they know how "eleven" works. If you trained a NN with this small dataset, than this will happen or rather it's a comment on how AIs work in general. With more complex things something like this might happen and then you have this meme to relate to

If you're going by how we say years pre millennium, it'd be eleven eleven (to match e.g. nineteen eighty four), which still isn't what's in the op.

I think that’s how some cultures would actually say it.

5

maybe the problem is actually that whoever made this doesn't know how to read numbers. one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine is perfectly consistent with one thousand one hundred and eleven, excluding the 11 and 12 exception of course.

Someday, I'm going to make finding the origin of this meme format a special interest.

It's not really exciting. They were both moderately popular reaction pictures that look funny next to each other.

That's not going back far enough. Their histories diverge, but what was going on in each of them?

No real answers though, because you're probably right about it not being exciting. The cat's probably upset that he had just been asked to leave or at least put a shirt and shoes on.

That information is also easily accessible if you ever want to find out exactly how boring reality is.
