Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?
Try one-teen, and two-teen (12) , which is consistent with fourteen, sixteen and so forth. Those two are far different, while thirteen and fifteen are only slightly changed.
The reason is historical. Up until about 300 years ago "everybody" used base 12 (duodecimal) rather than base-10 (decimal) numbers. Thus it was dozens, NOT tens in counting. The metric revolution plus Alexander Hamilton's desire to get away from the English money system (which was 12 based) ended us with a decimal counting system to go along with our decimal numerical system.
Not a real problem ... except in base 12 what we call ten and eleven are single digits - with names! And twelve, (which was the roll-over equivalent to our ten). The old names stuck.
--
The higher ten values are also altered, so 22 is not pronounced as twoty two.

The Etymology of Eleven
Eleven in Old English is endleofan, and related forms in the various Germanic languages point back to an original Germanic *ainlif, "eleven." *Ainlif is composed of *ain-, "one," the same as our one, and the suffix *-lif from the Germanic root *lib-, "to adhere, remain, remain left over." Thus, eleven is literally "one-left" (over, that is, past ten), and twelve is "two-left" (over past ten).
What is an example of digression?
Digression in the spoken and written word often goes unnoticed, except that a portion does not seem to fit 'the topic' of everything else that is spoken or written then. Here are some examples of digression:
I hate people who do not respect others. Teachers seem to disrespect students; students disrespect teachers. Parents often show little regard for their children and their children in turn show little regard for their parents and others. The other day, I saw a couple arguing in front of their kids. It wasn't a bad argument, just a little arguing, you know, "I think this" and "I disagree", and the dad yelled about how much the mom spent on shoes. The mom yelled how the dad stayed out late...and well, they finally 'kissed and made up', you know. Parents must teach children to respect, which is taught in many mini lessons. For example...
- In the above example, something in the speaker's thoughts reminded him of the 'arguing' example. But he doesn't clearly tie his point of 'respect--disrespect' to how parents show little regard for children--or how parents teach children to respect.
Example:
Many people believe John F. Kennedy was a great leader. As a US President, he served during the continuing anti-communism crusade of the 1940s and 1950s. He united citizens. He raised citizen's hopes and dreams, instilling in people a desire to take personal action. A friend of mine volunteered in homeless shelters before volunteering became such a buzz word like it has today. He once met this guy...I think his name was Charlie...well, Charlie had a lisp and rolled his r's in his words--my friend thought that was really funny! I told him he shouldn't make fun of people! But...well anyway... President Kennedy really encouraged people to give of themselves!
- Note again how the writer goes off on a tangent. His story only loosely connects to the thesis: how people viewed President Kennedy's abilities to be a great leader.
