Re: Yes ...

The main problem I have with that "Dozenal Society's" proposal is that the two names for the 'new' numbers they've chosen are simply altered pronunciations of the base ten names we already use...

But most people who don't study etymology have no idea that "eleven" and "twelve" are base ten terms, they think they're just oddballs.
