Every time anyone talks about this, I feel obligated to inform them: there's also a counting system that's not based on ten, and it's way superior. Do people know about it? Most don't. The Wikipedia page stupidly calls it the "ten-plus-two" system, and there have been heated arguments there with the dumbasses who refuse to change it to the logical name. That's how stupidly-biased people are towards the ten-based system.

You make a "metric" measurement system based on 12-based counting and then everyone wins. Everyone. It'll never happen of course.

You’re not really helping your case by omitting the real name (but complaining about the Wikipedia name) and sharing why it’s superior.

I loosely tried to find it and didn’t find anything explicitly named 10+2 or “ten-plus-two”.
