I'm ok with this.
19, 18, and 17 are all pronounced with their main number followed by teen. So 11 should be oneteen. The cat was so close.

As someone who has had to teach place value to little kids you have no idea how much easier my job would be if English numbers were actually named this way. Or better yet if English were like the many languages that basically just say "one ten and one", "three tens and five" etc

Those sound terrible. Like, it's just unappealing to say and hear.

Not really, it just sounds clunky, especially the "three tens" part when Chinese is the only language I can think of that doesn't have specific words for 20, 30, etc. Even when it's literally "thirty and five", most natural speakers tend to blend the and or even omit it.

I'm not sure how much to trust this dude since he is very wrong about how to say numbers in Tongan. Tongan works like Chinese/Korean/Japanese etc in that they have words for 0-9, ten, hundred, thousand and you combine them to make the inbetween numbers. Same with Māori, Samoan, and basically every other polynesian language that I've encountered.

Japanese and Korean do it as well. By sheer numbers that makes it fairly common.
