Hi everyone;

I have an argument I'm trying to settle with a friend and I need your help.

Can you count in Binary? But please respond to this message using
english - no numerals. Don't respond as 1, 10, 11 etc but type
using english words.


What do you mean be count?

Are you asking if any decimal integer can be expressed as a
binary integer? Yes. Same for the reverse.

Are you familiar with the concept that each digit in a decimal
expression is the coefficient of a power of ten? The only difference
in binary is that each digit is the coefficient of a power of 2.

Are you asking how to pronounce in binary the sequence we
express in decimal as one, two three, ...? There are several
different answers: one, two, three, ...; one, ten, eleven, ...; one,
one-zero, one-one, ...; possibly others.
