>>in normal everyday life, humans count from 1-10.  Math geeks call counting
>>like that "BASE 10" or, decimal. (Abbreviated DEC)

Not to be confused with Digital Equipment Corporation.

>>that brings us to counting in base 8.  like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etcetc...

Or rather: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10, etc.  There is no "2" in binary, there is
no "8" in octal.

>>and forgive me if i butchered.

OK.
