It would have worked great if our base numbering system had 12 (or16) numbers to begin with, then you wouldn't need letters. But who is going to go and change that!

A large army of consultants, just like Y2K. Dream it, and they will come like bears to honey. :laughing:

Now I know why I weigh almost 16 stone. I confused my teaspoon with a tablespoon when I was eating ice cream. {it's not my fault}

Question - would the world be a better place if everyone used the same measuring system and spoke the same language?

Gene Roddenberry thought so...

Has anyone ever worked in a place that calculated hourly time on tenths of hours? Because every 10th is 6 minutes, you really get into some mental gymnastics when you work 15 minutes and can't put 2.5 on a time card because you have to only use even tenths. Some hourly workers had trouble counting anything more than the fingers on their hands and the every 6 minutes = 1/10th just caused their eyes to glaze over. Explaining round-up or round-down was impossible, so we had charts showing what the number of minutes from 1-60 equaled in tenths. Some people were lost without their chart.:rolleyes:

Yep, when I worked for the Post Office in the late '50s early '60s, we punched a time clock that used tenths.
