A well-educated (honestly), very adult, substitute teacher remarked to me
the other day that he had always thought it curious that the library
decimal system was based on "12".

I thought so too!  And asked him why he said that.

Answer: Because of its name, "duodecimal."

What won't a slightly slurred accent do to our precise nomenclature?!
