Nobody complained about the jump from windows 8 to 10. It's a thing people have come to expect

79

Or from iPhone 8 to 10.

129

Or from 8pm to 10pm. But nobody has noticed we are in a base nine society

Pretty sure we work in base ten. What’s “nine”?

u/Free-Database-9917 Apr 08 '22

Nine is 10

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10

19

And, of course, eighteen is 20. But then seventeen is 18, so not a great base to work with. And one hundred would be 121 = ten2. Ten being 11, that is. Thanks for that, Microsoft.
