I came up with a system for naming dozenal numbers, but that system will be abandoned.
I think it makes more sense to use the most popular convention (do/gro/mo).

Alternate unit names
TGM (now called the Cadent System or TTP due to renamed units) is scaled by prefixes, but not everyone necessarily has the time to say the unit names like "unciatandem", so here are some alternate names:
Length
triquatandem: Li
unciatandem: Tandem inch
Mass
biquapondus: Cadent ton
unciapondus: Lib
biciapondus: Lib ounce
Volume
unciacirduct: Jug
biciacirduct: cup
triciacirduct: tablespoon
Area
square biquatandem: Acre

Simple proof that 1/3 terminates in dozenal
This isn't necessarily a proposal for a new idea, but it is relevant.
Someone told me that dozenal does not work because 1/3 = 0.333333333...
That might sound pretty dumb (I mean, it is), but I'm pretty sure there are many other people like this, so let me prove them wrong.

English Names for dozenal numbers (revised again)
See this for the previous proposal
I'ts basically the same, except:
I'ts basically the same, except:
- I ditched "duna" and "trin", and I am going for "gross" and "megross" instead
- The "-zen" thing is now the entire number, not a different form (so "twozen", not "twenzen")
Example
123,456,789,XE0 would be One gross and twozen three bidillion, four gross and fivezen six dillion, seven gross and eightzen nine megross, ten gross and elzen

Dozenal Calculator
I made a dozenal calculator:
Features:
Uses Quadruple-precision floating point format
Plenty of functions.
Converts between Decimal and Dozenal
(note: trigonometric functions are in radians)

English Names for dozenal numbers (revised)
I talked about this before in a previous blog post, but since then, I changed some things.
Here is my system of naming numbers.
10; is pronounced "zen", rather than "doh".
I created a "zeen" system for 11;-1E;, similar to "teen"
11; is "onezeen"
12; is "twozeen"
13; is "threezeen"
14; is "fourzeen"
...
for 20;-90;, it uses the current decimal notation, except you replace "-ty" with "-zen", though it does have a few differences.
therefore
20; = "twenzen"
30; = "thirzen"
40; = "forzen"
50; = "fivzen"
60; = "sixzen"
70; = "sevzen"
80; = "eightzen"
90; = "ninezen"
X0; = "teenzen" (in Old English, 100 (decimal) was "teenty")
E0; = "elzen"
100; is called "one duna" (from TGM), instead of "one gross" because
1. Grosses aren't common
2. "duna" sounds better
*1,000 is "one trin" (from TGM)
TGM calls *10,000 "quedra", but my system calls it "zen trin", because it is structurally similar to the decimal "ten thousand".
*100,000 is "one duna trin".
*1,000,000 is "one dillion" (short for "dozenal million")
*1,000,000,000 is not "one billion", but "one bidillion" (well, because "billion" is decimal).
You can always generate new dillions using systematic dozenal nomenclature
Officially, you say it similar to decimal, so 0;01 is officially "one dunith".
The semicolon seperator is called a dosc (dozenal simicolon), so it would unofficially be "zero dosc O one" or "zero dosc zero one".
If read as a decimal value, it would be "one million, two hundred and thirty four thousand, five hundred and sixty seven".
If read using my dozenal English naming scheme, it would be "one dillion, two duna and thirzen-four trin, five duna, and sixzen-seven".
Here is my system of naming numbers.
The System
1 through nine are, of coarse, the same, but X; is pronounced "ten", and E; is pronounced "el".10; is pronounced "zen", rather than "doh".
I created a "zeen" system for 11;-1E;, similar to "teen"
11; is "onezeen"
12; is "twozeen"
13; is "threezeen"
14; is "fourzeen"
...

therefore
20; = "twenzen"
30; = "thirzen"
40; = "forzen"
50; = "fivzen"
60; = "sixzen"
70; = "sevzen"
80; = "eightzen"
90; = "ninezen"
X0; = "teenzen" (in Old English, 100 (decimal) was "teenty")
E0; = "elzen"

Dozenal Places
Officially, you say it similar to decimal, so 0;01 is officially "one dunith".The semicolon seperator is called a dosc (dozenal simicolon), so it would unofficially be "zero dosc O one" or "zero dosc zero one".
Comparison with decimal
So, lets say the number "1,234,567".If read as a decimal value, it would be "one million, two hundred and thirty four thousand, five hundred and sixty seven".
If read using my dozenal English naming scheme, it would be "one dillion, two duna and thirzen-four trin, five duna, and sixzen-seven".
