If you had to learn Swahili, would it help if you learned about The Japanese alphabet? It’s not that learning the Japanese alphabet isn’t good, it’s that it has nothing to do with teaching fundamental concepts in a way that is understood and practically used by the majority.

ALL the bases are "base-10" "10" is how you write the number "two" in base-two, it's how you write the number "ten" in base-ten, it's how you write the number "five-hundred-sixty-seven" in base-five-hundred-sixty-seven

If you actually understood what positional notation means and what having a "base" is in the first place, you'd understand why writing "base-10" makes you look like a fool But the automatic translation of "10" to "ten" isn't even conscious for you

And Base-10 can also mean base-two

"Base-10" is a tautology, it means all possible bases, because the definition of the "base" of positional notation is the number represented by the numeral "10" If for whatever reason I am writing in base-ninety-three then that means I am writing the number ninety-three as 10
