Me too, so most likely. Forty seems very strange.

Dude what are you doing, don't go and taint New Zealand like Canada already has been in this thread. Nobody in the world spells it fourty.

That's how we do it in english speaking countries  :-) 
 
As for programme, and all the extra letters, the story goes that typesetters were paid by the letter in ye olde days of printing.  All those extra letters meant extra payment.  Of course they were probably paid by cheque  :/

Forty, if Wikipedia is to be believed then this word cannot be spelled 'fourty'.

Yeah, damn those English people spelling things in English.  Who the hell do they think they are  :/  Spot the spelling error: The tyre on my car, which I had a licence for, was black in colour, like my pyjamas, which I must emphasise matched my moustache, which made me look like a paedophile with a fetish for analogue over digital, which was on the programme I watched recently, to fulfil my desire to measure myself in metres, and in defence of my behaviour which could lead to gaol, I manoeuvred well around, despite the draught that ensued as I ploughed through all of the jewellery I had, some of them being artefacts.  Answer - none.
I'm cleaning out my 690 unread messages, and I just want to say that reading through this, even a year later, is still a terrible experience. 

You disgust me, Sir.

With inflation since this thread was started, the answer will probably be "Forty-six"

Forty is the correct way to spell it. Just like how it isn't twoty, threety, or fivety, it isn't fourty.

But logically it should be fourty, not forty, but the english language is retarded. It should be  four, fourteen, fourty. Not  four, fourteen, forty.

But then shouldn't it be two, twoteen and twoty?

Why? We already have different words for those that logically make sense in the English language and have a meaning to them. Forty is just quite literally four with a ty on the end, forty used to have a different meaning entirely. Logically forty makes absolutely no sense to me when the others are four, and fourteen. Why randomly take the U out of the next four?

Foretea always takes place before tea.

It can mean things such as microwaving water, boiling it, or using some other method.

And then the teabag happens.

And then tea.

It's been going a whole year? Holy jesus rollerblading christ! 
Anyways, 
Fourty = wrong 
Forty = correct  
And there you have it. 
Plus, forty is the 'american way to spell it'? Well since there's only one spelling this makes no sense, and surely it's the British way of spelling it anyway.

Fourteen is kind of the anomaly in spelling numbers, really. It makes me think that maybe over the years it's been accepted as the way of spelling it but it was originally Forteen. All other numbers change when they go into the teens except the four, and carry it on through all the other tiers of numbers.

four, fourteen, forty

five, fifteen, fifty

three, thirteen, thirty
