What if your favourite websites displayed things in dozenal?
I will be working on this for all popular websites, but let's start with YouTube.
I was working on a userscript that changes Youtube's stats to base 12.

New Currency Subdivisions
I am predicting the world would switch to dozenal around the end of the 21st century.
By that time, it would be more practical to only have one division by 12 than 2 divisions, because money would not be worth as much
I will explain the coinages of the new dozenalized currencies:
There will be denominations of 1 ("dime"), 3 ("quarter"), 4 ("third"), and 6 ("half") uncia
There will be denominations of 1, 2, and 6 shillings
There will be denominations of 1, 2, and 6 euro uncia
By that time, it would be more practical to only have one division by 12 than 2 divisions, because money would not be worth as much
I will explain the coinages of the new dozenalized currencies:
United States Dollar
Like many other currencies, the subdivision by 12 for the US dollar is called the unciaThere will be denominations of 1 ("dime"), 3 ("quarter"), 4 ("third"), and 6 ("half") uncia
Pound Sterling
The subdivision by 12 for the Pound sterling is the new shilling (take note that the old shilling was 1/20 pound)There will be denominations of 1, 2, and 6 shillings
Euro (If the EU still exists by the time, because I have doubts)
The subdivision by 12 would be called the Eruo unciaThere will be denominations of 1, 2, and 6 euro uncia

Symbols for Systematic Dozenal Nomenclature
I came up with a symbol system for the SDN metric prefixes:
(tandem (t) used as an example)
(tandem (t) used as an example)
Number | Positive Power | Symbol | Negative Power | Symbol |
1 | unquatandem | ut | unciatandem | uct |
2 | biquatandem | bt | biciatandem | bct |
3 | triquatandem | tt | triciatandem | tct |
4 | quadquatandem | qt | quadciatandem | qct |
5 | pentquatandem | pt | pentciatandem | pct |
6 | hexquatandem | ht | hexciatandem | hct |
7 | septquatandem | st | septciatandem | sct |
8 | octquatandem | ot | octciatandem | oct |
9 | ennquatandem | et | ennciatandem | ect |
X | decquatandem | dt | decciatandem | dct |
E | levquatandem | lt | levciatandem | lct |
10 | unnilquatandem | unt | unnilciatandem | unct |
11 | unnunquatandem | uut | unnunciatandem | uuct |

25 | bipentquatandem | bpt | bipentciatandem | bpct |

Distance units
Here is how long distances should be measured:
The problem is that a triciatandem is too short, but a quadciatandem is too long.
The solution is to use quadciatandems with one dozenal place
Doing this, it is actually pretty easy to estimate conversions from previous units, because:
1 km ≈ 0;2 qt (quadciatandem)
1 mi ≈ 0;3 qt
People will round to the nearest 0;2 or 0;3 quadciatandems depending on the previous system.
However, speed limits should probably be in triciatandems per hour, because making it higher would reduce speeding.
