A few months ago one of my friends from my master's cohort argued for the utility of a base 12 system. He made a lot of really good points and I was on board with it until his proposal got around to the extra two digits, which he called "eleven two" and "eleven three."

The symbols consist of two digit 1s arranged as eleven in base 10, with the digit 2 or 3 respectively superimposed on top. Nevermind that there is no "eleven one" or that "eleven two" corresponds to the base 10 value of ten. The proposal then quickly went off the rails further.
