So true

Two is the only even prime number, which makes it the oddest prime of them all.

fünf
- If you can't type an umlaut it's spelt fuenf
  
  I was flabbergasted when I found out you can spell German B (can't type it without installing additional keyboard) as just "SS". My teacher didn't like that. I wonder why 🤔
- ist trümpf
  
  Rolf!

I'm guessing the original post was prime numbers and this was just slapped together.
- it's interaction bait and I fell for it 😁

Cinco
- Fünf
- Dois!! 🎩🤵

I'm worried about the 1265 people who liked that comment more than the one person who made it.

You only need something in common for the 6 first odd numbers and "teen" for it to be true for all odd numbers.

Deux
- Zwei
  
  Twee

unu if you count esperanto
- I don't
  
  L

I don't get it... why did they say"two"?
- The joke is that they thought they found an exception to this observation, and while they're right that two does not have an e in it, they're wrong in thinking it's an odd number
- Perhaps this will enlighten you:

  And in case you don't feel like watching that: It's a meme harkening back to the stupidity displayed on a well known tumblr post, one of the many displays of which was somebody insisting 2 was odd.
  Also see this Ace Attorney version, which is hilarious and the first place I'd heard of it:

It's not correct in Swedish because of Sju (7) and Nio (9)
- Nor German. 5 fünf.
  
  Fnaf? 😮
- It applies even less in Turkish thanks to bir (1), üç (3) and dokuz (9)

Pi!
- pie

Two / Two
- = One

Won#
- Thr33

3
- literally an E, just backwards
  
  З is the cyrillic letter for Z. No E in it
- fünf

Floor of four thirds

Does π count as a number? I mean there's no e in pi.
- Odd and even (aka parity) is only defined for integers.
- There are 1.1557 e's in pi.
  
  Pov: You like math
  
  When he asked, this was roughly my thought as well.
- It's also not odd, so that doesn't work. But to answer your question, it is a number yes.
- tree point one four one five
  I don't see your point
  
  🌳.1415
- There is when it tastes good.

2E0, 4E0, 6E0, 8E0, 1E1, 1.2E1... I can go on

Due

Not thirty first.
- Thirty One?
  
  No the thirty first, or the thirty-third, thirty-fifth or thirty-ninth, no e's at all!
- Therty ferst.

gottem

Maybe I’m getting wooshed but two is an even number.

Tri

The forty-first number doesn't, nor does the fourtythird, or the thirtyfifth. I'm sure there are a ton more
- Forty-one, forty-three, thirty-five
- So do you say you have fourty-first dollars?
  
  It was the one that came after the fourtieth dollar!
