* Counting in binary from zero upward. [[Don't Explain the Joke|Zero, One, One-Zero]]...
** Babylonian numerals probably count as well - while they used a base sixty system, their numerals were built from base ten and base six subglyphs.
** Really, ''all'' numerical systems are like this. Binary is just the most obvious example because it only uses two digits.
** In spoken French this is especially blatant. The teens past sixteen are ten-seven, etc. When you pass sixty-nine, suddenly there's no seventy, just sixty-ten, sixty-eleven... Then eighty becomes four-twenties, and then the nineties are four-twenties-and-ten, four-twenties-and-eleven... all the way up to four-twenties-and-ten-and-nine!
*** Not counting Belgium and some areas in France, which use more reasonable numbering for 70s, 80s and 90s.
** China is similar; the numbers after ten are ten-one, ten-two, ten-three, etc.
** [[w:Pashto|Pashto]] is also like this. Eleven is one-ten, twelve is two-ten, and so on.
** So is English: Ten, eleven, twelve, three-ten, four-ten, five-ten, six-ten, seven-ten, eight-ten, nine-ten. We've just changed the spelling ("ten" to "teen", plus a few other tweaks) to hide that fact.

* In version control, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_(version_control) "merge"] is an operation that applies the changes of one branch into another, turning bread and eggs ''into'' breaded eggs.
