Dozenal, or base twelve, is a way to count that uses twelve digits instead of ten. A lot of people around the world prefer it over decimal for quite a number of reasons. This is a community for those people. 1. Be respectful, considerate, and do not support any kind of bigotry. Transmisia, homomisia, ableism, pluralmisia, triggered “”““jokes””“”, slurs and the like are not allowed. 2. Keep the safety of the community. Do not threaten any person or group of people and stay away from heated debates and agressivity. 3. Don’t post explicit NSFW content of any kind.
A community for people who enjoy using base twelve and prefer it over base ten
All the dictionary definitions of these words use Base-10 references. You need to rewrite the definitions and have them accepted into the human language globally if you want something that disregards Base-10. Personally, I think “Dozenal” sounds uneducated. The wikipedia redirects to Duodecimal. I am inclined to believe Base-12 does have many advantages over Base-10.
All the dictionary definitions for the word dozen say “a group of 12”, which isn’t decimal-centric at all. Like I said, being able to express a definition with decimal digits doesn’t make it a decimal definition. I could just as easily say that it’s “a group of 20”. The definition doesn’t change, it’s just that I’m using base 6 now. Does this mean that it’s a base 6 definition? No, it just means that I can use base six to express it
Anyhow, doesn’t seem like this is going anywhere lol. I guess it’s just a matter of which words you prefer
