Let's see the important ones for the 1+1=2 discussion.
Now, do the math!hock: i know where you are at so i've tried to not get into anything to complicated, but knowing some of the members of the forum they will be able to settle the issue and explain it simply without getting too confusing.

1+1 =
(To replicate the nomenclature in the definition of addition)
= 1+ S(0) =
(Second part of the definition of addition)
= S(1+0) =
(1+0 = 1 as per the first part of the definition of addition)
= S(1) =
(According to axiom 6.)
= 2
