Youtube Dozenator (not yet complete)

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.


Requirements:
* Firefox or chrome

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:

United States Dollar

Like many other currencies, the subdivision by 12 for the US dollar is called the uncia

There 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 uncia

There 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)

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.
