    B does not have ‘e’ in it. What? Nobody specified it has to be base 10.

      “bee” “dee” “eff”. Works for me.

      Also, in base XVI, “10” is how XVI is represented, therefore “B” exists in infinitely many place-value bases that call themselves “10”.

        I mean, you don’t usually write “bee” outside of transcriptions, while ‘1’ is literally “one”. Anyways, we can always R

          No no no following your logic 1 doesn’t have and e

          No one will ever write one they will write 1 therefore it doesn’t have an E

          I guess it doesn’t quite apply cause people might write one but what about 13? Does it have an E?

            I mean, “bee” for ‘b’ is not exactly a word. Although, mb English is different here (I’m not a native speaker)
