Sadly, the dozenal system was basically done for after the release of "The Art of Tenths" by Simon Stevin in 1585, and the resulting adoption by traders and tradespeople. But well, the decimal system is probably the second best...
My main gripe these days is the lack of consistency : while hours/minutes/seconds are not too bad, having computer screens in inches annoys me a lot ! (While TV screens are in centimeters, as expected.) |

This is not my experience in America. We have both computer monitors and TV screens in diagonal inches
