This. Although it wouldn't make everyday arithmetic easier. It's true that 16 has more factors than 10, but it still has fewer factors than 12, and, most importantly, it hasn't got three.

Personally, I'm sold, except for the fact that then I wouldn't be able to communicate numerically with the whole rest of the world. But I think I'll start practicing. I'd like to see the look on the professor's face when I turn in a set of homework in dozenal. It'd be utterly worth the F.
