Just one more reason decimal was a mistake
Quote Tweet
Never forget what the Romans, Indians, and Arabs took from us by counting with their thumbs. The digits 8 and 9 are an obvious kludge: rotated ♾ and flipped 6. We’d have skipped the ridiculous parade of decimal computers. Toddlers would be counting to 256 on their fingers.
