Just to add confusion to the discussion: The decimal system has been
about the dumbest idea which has happened to mankind. The phoenicians
got it right by using the duodecimal system (actually, they used even
the 60-system), which is much more suited for most real life situations.
But some dimmer folks replaced it by the decimal system, because they
couldn't do the math without using their fingers. So I fear we have to
live with that.
