minus-squarefishbone@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 天前This sounds pedantic, but honestly I just think the language of it is very interesting: Any number can be dozens, except 1 or -1. 0 dozens, Pi dozens, 4.5 dozens, 1 dozen. And now the word dozen has lost all visual meaning to me.
