And I’m not convinced about dozenal or hexadecimal for a unit system as long as base-ten is what we count in. The units should always be in the same base for the sake of simplicity.

62·7 days agoI think it’s worth adding that while no system can avoid difficult divisions, we use the same base-ten numerals everywhere so metric only has to deal with the limitations of base-ten. Using a unit system with a different base, but then having base-ten numbers to count those sounds like it defeats the purpose. If we counted in base-twelve, then that would be a different matter.

Except if it was just generated by a sloperator for a dumb joke, which is almost certainly the case here :/
