  Lol, indeed.
context: if you're 19 you're still technically a teenager and it makes no sense for it to be, at a maximum, 18.
  
  It makes as much sense as 20. Literally the only reason you're a teenager at 19 is because the word "19" ends with "-teen". All of this is arbitrary. >
  
  Indeed. It is such an odd argument to make laws based on linguistic peculiarities.
  How does the law change in other languages?
  In French for example, the words 11-16 have their own unique words:
  
  onze
  douze 
  treize
  quatorze
  quinze
  seize
  
  However, 17-19 are literally worded ten and whatever is the second number.
  
  dix-sept (ten-seven)
  dix-huit (ten-eight)
  dix-neuf (ten-nine)
  
  So, does this mean in France, the AOC should be 17 because that is when the linguistic trend changes? Why would England and France have a different "correct" AOC? >
  
  And in French-speaking countries smoking weed should become legal at the age of 80, because quatre-vingt means 420.
