The Duodecimal system (also known as base-twelve or dozenal) is a numeral system numeral is a symbol or group of symbols that represents a number.
There are modern advocacy groups that promote the use of the duo-decimal system, and they sometimes use the word dozenal, rejecting the duo-decimal as a word obviously based on the decimal counting system.
The DozenalSociety of America and DozenalSociety of Great Britain promote this base 12 system, arguing that it is better than the decimal system mathematically and in many other ways, however their membership and influence remains negligible.
