Inspired by an analogous sequence for the French language, published by E. Angelini on Facebook, see A261159.
EXAMPLE
Spelling out the sequence in English yields: thrEE zEro onE four thirty-two two two two two two two tEn tEn tEn tEn...
Counting the lengths of chunks of letters different from 'E' ("thr", "", "z", "roon", "fourthirtytwotwotwotwotwotwotwot", "nt", "nt", ...) gives: 3, 0, 1, 4, 32, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 10, 10, ..., which is the sequence itself.
