Welcome to Fifteen

Hello!
Welcome to Fifteen.

As you may have already noticed, this page isn't looking so good at the moment. But don't worry! Change is coming! We are quite new to the world of blogging, so give us a chance to sort a few things out.

What is Fifteen, you ask? It's quite simple really. Fifteen is a number.  According to Wikipedia it is "the natural number following 14 and preceding 16". Although, most academics will say not to believe a word Wikipedia says. Its like a small child promising they'll behave in a shop selling chocolates, lollies and toys. Possible, but I'd rather leave than take the chance.


Regardless of what came before or after it, fifteen is our number. Fifteen is all we care about. 


So what are you actually going to see here? 


15.


Lots and lots of 15 things. It could be anything. As long as its 15. 


Lets kick it off with 15 ways the number fifteen is spelt in 15 languages. 


(In absolutely no particular order)
1. English - Fifteen
2. French - Quinze
3. Italian - Quindici 
4. Swedish - Femton

  1. You should have at least been creative and used 15 fictional languages and how to state the number 15 therein. Navi, Klingon, Elvish (LotR), Dwarvish (LotR), as a start point. Geez, get creative already! You make the number 15 B-O-R-I-N-G!!!

  2. Thanks for the suggestion!
    As Fifteen is less than 15 hours old, we are still in the process of gathering our 15 things.
    We will try, in future posts, to consider those other worldly explorers such as yourself.
    In the meantime, enjoy our list of 15 languages from the land of the real.
    If in future post we fail to meet your criteria, we suggest finding another number. Perhaps 9.
    Fifteen
