Now now, tinkit, it isn't a ''movement'' if it only has two people (one when I'm feeling cynical). But give him a chance to hear all sides of the issue. What do you think about the ideas of using bases other than ten as default? Can the difficulties of, as an example, learning to think in duodecimal be overcome easily enough to be worth trying? If you pronounce the syllable /Zu/ ("ju" in lojban) will you be immediately eaten by the Evil Beast of Pano? And, as a newbie and thus lacking the prior context, does my sig make any sense to you at all? --la kreig.daniyl.
