Etymology

The title refers to how the teen numbers (from 13 to 19) are between (or "betwixt") 12 and 20.

gollark: At least 3 numbers, I'd say.
gollark: Which isn't really a big problem in practice, since the chance of running into sufficiently large numbers by accident is basically zero.
gollark: An interesting consequence of intellectual property and stuff is that since binary data (some of which is copyrighted) is isomorphic to very big numbers, some numbers can't be legally distributed (by everyone).
gollark: Probably a somewhat positive thing in general. But really weird.
gollark: Copyright and intellectual property are just really weird now we have computers.
