Let’s say there’s a mismatch between the orders of magnitude in your units of measurement, which are mostly based either on 12 or 60 or powers of 2, and your numbering system, which is based on powers of 10. If you can just disregard the initial costs and the cognitive and communicative burden involved in completely throwing out a deeply-ingrained conventional system and adapting to a new one, is that a reason to switch to a decimalized system of measurements? Why not a reason to switch to a sexigesimal numbering system instead?

What is the strongest pet peeve you have that you realize to be, objectively speaking, not that big a deal or even totally unreasonable?
