Exactly. The title means that OCEAN works with a crew of 11 other people, but they're actually 10 other people.

WOW!

As in the total number of people is 11, not sure why this hard to understand

What the OP means is that there is 10 other people besides Ocean. So Ocean's Eleven means Ocean and eleven others, but there are not eleven others, there are only 10 others. So it should be Ocean's 10.

Yeah, I'm not very good at explaining things. But basically it should really be called Ocean's Ten.

Yeah but "Ocean's Eleven" sounds cooler! Just like the original.

Except Ocean is still part of the crew itself. So it's still 11.

You are sin.

i agree!
Oceans Eleven means Oceans Eleven crew members. so they would have been 12 in total.
also in the summary of the movie here at IMDB, right of the movies picture cover it says
"Danny Ocean and his eleven accomplices plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously"

This doesn't mean much since any contributor can write and submit a summary, just like they can contribute a quote from the movie or a shooting locale. It doesn't mean the info is 100% correct. I've seen many detail errors on IMDb.
