Numerals
A numeral is a word class (part of speech) designating numbers or related to specifying quantities and any other countable divisions. All numerals are divided into cardinal numbers and ordinal numbers.
Cardinal numbers indicate number, quantity or amount and are used in counting. 0 | Zero (nought) | 10 | Ten | | | 1 | One | 11 | Eleven | | | 2 | Two | 12 | Tvelve | 20 | Twenty | 3 | Three | 13 | Thirteen | 30 | Thirty | 4 | Four | 14 | Fourteen | 40 | Forty (no "u") | 5 | Five | 15 | Fifteen (note "f", not "v") | 50 | Fifty (note "f",not "v") | 6 | Six | 16 | Sixteen | 60 | Sixty | 7 | Seven | 17 | Seventeen | 70 | Seventy | 8 | Eight | 18 | Eighteen | 80 | Eighty (only one "t") | 9 | Nine | 19 | Nineteen (only one "t") | 90 | Ninety (note the "e") | |
The numbers from 13 to 19 are formed by adding the suffix –teen to the corresponding numbers of units.They have two stresses: on the first syllable and on the suffix.The cardinal numerals indicating tens are formed by adding the suffix – ty to the corresponding number of units.They have the stress on the first syllable.
If a number is in the range 21 to 99, and the second digit is not zero, one typically writes the number as two words separated by a hyphen. 21 | twenty-one | 25 | twenty-five | 32 | thirty-two | 58 | fifty-eight | 64 | sixty-four | 79 | seventy-nine | 83 | eighty-three | 99 | ninety-nine |
In English, the hundreds are perfectly regular, except that the word hundred remains in its singular form regardless of the number preceding it (nevertheless, one may on the other hand say "hundreds of people flew in", or the like) 100 | One hundred | 200 | Two hundred | … | … | 900 | Nine hundred |
So too are the thousands, with the number of thousands followed by the word "thousand". 1000 | One thousand | 2000 | Two thousand | … | … | 9000 | Nine thousand |

There are simple, derived and composite cardinal numerals.The cardinal numerals from 1 to

    The Unicameral System

    In the unicameral system that Nebraska currently presents, there is less of a process for a bill to become passed or rejected. “...both the House and the Senate have to vote on and approve a bill before it can become a law. In Nebraska, however, a bill is discussed and voted on only by the Senate.” As told in the previous quote, the bicameral legislative body requires more voting and thus more time taken up by one item. Hence, this system makes simple tasks take much longer than necessary which in turn holds back the process by hours, weeks, or even years. The simplicity of the unicameral legislature takes out a largely unnecessary step in this procedure, making the process more efficient for all that are involved.…
