Re: You Know Whats BS Thread
Another thing about English number names
Tens - Unique
Hundreds - Unique
Thousands - Unique
Ten Thousands - Combination of ten and Thousand
Hundred Thousand - Combination of Hundred and thousand
Million - Unique
Billion - Unique
....
Why doesn't all the power's of 10 have unique names ? Who decided that ten thousand and hundred thousand should be combinations of previous unique names ?
Also, Time Is BS! Why is Time in different bases ? 1000 miliseconds in a second, 60 seconds in a minute 60 miutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day and inconsistent amount of days in months. It would be much easier if they just stuck to base 10.
