What if, after the French Revolution, when deciding on a system of weights and measures the assembled learned men struck upon the "revolutionary" idea of using a base 12 system for counting because it makes so much more sense logically ... (opinions vary but it does make every day math simpler). For example using some variant of X for 10 and E for 11, the symbol doesn't really matter for these purposes.
Would it have seen as widespread adoption as OTL? Would we all be now counting in base 12?
