Here's a table showing the fraction i/n in decimal (white columns) and in dozenal (blue columns) for i=1,12 and n=1,12.[1]

There's absolutely no way I can get most people I know to mix the alphabet and numerals. I'll definitely look more into it, but for the moment I doubt it's immense usefulness.

And honestly, I think the naming of units is very important. Numeral prefixes are important and I think the metric prefixes are quite easy to work with (maybe that's because I grew up with them). Gravyard is a bad choice I think!
