Hi,
I wonder if you could explain how you stress –teen numerals in these collocations
1. he is in room nineteen
2. nineteen per cent of the population
3. was born in nineteen seventy-seven
4. lucky numbers are nineteen, thirteen and seventeen.
5. nineteenth nervous breakdown
Would it grate on your ears if I only stress the last syllable everywhere?
Thanks.
