	Dozenal Society of Great Britain
		A society which seeks to replace the base 10 number system with one based on base 12.
		For example, in dozenal math, 1/3 is 0.4, and the multiplication table shows more regularities and is therefore easier to memorize.
		Dozenal requires two additional digits, and they suggest we use an upside-down 2 and 3.

		The Dozenal Society of Great Britain promotes a numeral system based on twelve, the duodecimal or dozenal system, to supplement or eventually replace the decimal system in common use which is based on ten.
		The Dozenal Society of America is a similar group.
		The Dozenal Society of America (formerly The Duodecimal Society of America) is a voluntary non-profit organization that promotes the research and education of the public in the use of Base Twelve in numeration, mathematics, weights and measures, and other branches of pure and applied science.

	Duodecimal
		The Dozenal Society of America and Dozenal Society of Great Britain promote that a base 12 system is better than the decimal system mathematically and in many other ways.
		Since 2, 3, 4, 6 are factors of 12, it is a convenient number in doing fractions.
		Being a versatile denominator in fraction may explain why we have 12 inches in a foot, 12 ounces in a troy pound, 12 old British pence in a shilling, 12 items in a dozen, 12 dozens in a gross etc.

		Perhaps therefore the "dozenal point" should change name for clarity sake- "[Dozenal] mark" is a possibility.

		Dozenal has three fractions running to more than just one number repeated in the decimal parts, as compared to one for both octal and binary.
		If you really think the convience of being able to express a couple of small-number fractions with whole numbers is so important that we should discard the arithmetic system used by every single culture on the planet for thousands of years to use it, you're out of your goddamn gourd.
		In fact, if we had used a dozenal or binary basis for attaining the metre, the metre would have been 11.7355" (divided into 16 units of a digit size-- binary) or 10.98966" (divided into 12 inch-sized units-- base twelve).

	Base Twelve
		A base twelve number system (also called dozenal or duodecimal) is a number system that revolves around twelve instead of ten like our typical number system or sixteen like many computer applications.
		The dozens place is named by tacking "-do" onto the end of the dozen's place number.
		Thus, the dozenal number 873 would be read "Eight gross, seven-do three." In base ten, this would be equal to 8 * 144 + 7 * 12 + 3, or 1239.

		And smoothhabitat, i do agree that hex is quite a good system, and binary is just plain great, but from a human point of view, it's harder to convert with 16 than 12, i've found.

		In order to develop a dozenal metrology and derive a practical system of weights and measures from the unit of time, that time unit has to be chosen carefully.
		The usual name for this is one gross, and though one dozen times this has the name "great gross" (*1000), there are no other common names for higher powers of twelve.
		Both in dozenal and decimal "300" is greater than "10" by a factor of "30".
