    Have you noticed?

    1 - one

    2 - two

    3 - three

    …

    9 - nine

    10 - ten

    11 - eleven

    12 - twelve (A DOZEN)

    13 - thirteen

    Why does the way we name numbers in english change after twelve?

    A dozen dozen? We have a word for that, a gross. An hour? 60 minutes, or 5 dozen minutes.

    We were always meant to count in base 12. It’s a conspiracy; I know you see it too. The truth cannot be silenced forever.
