The dozenal system (also known as base-12, duodecimal, or rarely uncial) is a positional notation numeral system using twelve as it's base(instead of 10). The dozenal system is better than the decimal system because 12 has more factors than 10 and fractions are easier to write in base 12, examples of that are 1/3=0.4 ; 1/4=0.3 ; 1/6=0.2; 1/8=0.1; and so on. Dozenalists use the term duodecimal instead of duodecimal, because duodecimal implies base-20, also duodecimal is a decimalist term used mainly by decimalists.

Guy 2: I bellieve in the decimal system because I can't think for myself.

Get the Dozenal mug.Dozenal is a positional notation numeral system using twelve as its base(instead of ten), most commomly reffered to as "duodecimal" by the decimalists, It can also be called base-12 to avoid confusion. Most dozenalists believe that It should be refered to as dozenal instead of "duodecimal", because the only people who refer to It as "duodecimal" are decimalist, also "duodecimal" implies that It has something to do with base-20, not base-12.
Guy 1: I'm a dozenalist, I bellieve that the dozenal system is better and that 12 is superior to 10.
Guy 2: I'm a decimalist, I am a sheep person who can't think for himself.
