Every South Korean turns a year younger

The real problem here is the decimal number system. We should have switched to dozenal before creating the metric system. Instead of counting fingers, we should be counting phalanges.

I wonder does the metric system prevent use of dozenal. Just redefine kilo etc. like we do with bits and bytes.

We would lose consistency between new and old MW for example or milligram and millilitre. But shouldn't it otherwise be fully consistent?
