Base-12 Number System (Dozenal) (Duodecimal)

Wait just a darn second. Persay we changed the system to a base-12 system. Well, in base 12, 12 is written as ten, making it a base-10 number-system. Therefore, we would have the same issue, and therefore would have to change it to base 12 again. But as soon as we do that it becomes base 10 again. It's a never-ending problem! AGGGGGHHH!!

It is Doh because 1010=X12

Doh=Dozen=12

I get it now...

Edit: Sorry SheNinja, I don't speak math very well. I don't see the need for a change in the system though. I think this is confusing.
 
I'm completely messing around with you, don't be so uptight.

Although, my points aren't completely invalid, as far as I'm aware. If we were converted, the Base-12 system would in turn be called Base-10(pronounced Doh if you insist). The term 'Doh' is really a renamed 'Ten,' but whatever. The last jab was just a joke about consistency between which system we were talking about, buy whatever. It seems you deleted your most recent post, but whatever, posting this anyway.
 
I didn't delete them, SR probably did.
There are actually 12 different options for digits in base 12; 0-9, X (dek), and E (el). Did you read the OP?
 
I did...

From my understanding, the numbers would go 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,X,E,10,11,12 etc. Correct? But the the number 10 would have the base-10 value of '12, or a dozen' Resultingly, a base-12 system would actually be called a base-10 system. That is all I'm saying.
