Is there a standard convention? Where else do you see this? It seems to me that a good number schema would be to use the set (0,A..Z). Use only Zero and the alphabet, it fits nicely.ConstableBrew 17:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I've changed the article to use the standard convention according to which I and O are not skipped. 4pq1injbok 02:51, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

The "convention" depends on the application. For computer software, e.g., encoding/decoding, I and O are not skipped. In constrast, Base 24 skips "I" and "O"; Base 32 skips "0" and "1". Perhaps, the article could strike a balance, as in Vigesimal which mentions both methods. -- Robocoder (t|c) 18:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hepticosamal

Unfortunately, the alleged form "Hepticosamal" combines a Greek number with a Latin suffix in a rather incorrect and ugly way (which would probably not have been done by anybody who actually knew Greek and Latin), while the Google search "hepticosamal -wikipedia" turns up exactly one hit. For these reasons, I have deleted it from the article. AnonMoos 14:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
