Who doesn't understand "eleventyone"?? How can you NOT understand that the first time you hear it?

If you are an old school person like me that doesn't know what the heck it means.

It should be self evident...twenty one, thirty one, forty one, fifty one, sixty one, seventy one...do you see the pattern?

Bilbo Baggins turned 111 years old (or thereabouts). He used the ring to disappear at his birthday party during his speech and leave on his adventure in Fellowship of the Ring.

During his birthday speech, he said "eleventy-one" or "eleventy-seven" or however old he turned --but it was "eleventy-something".

Right, so "eleventyone" would be 111 which is right back where we were.
