It's been a really interesting challenge, writing up on different subjects, tryring to think about how people struggle with concepts.
I'm currently finishing off "Binary". And it made me think how silly writing "Base 10" is, because they're ALL "Base 10" in that base.
It's just a bit of a quirky "huh" at convention, I guess?

Well, yeah. But usually we write the base in base ten, rather than base 10 where 10 is the base itself. You need some common reference somewhere.

Since you are obviously in a context where you consider multiple bases, you should specify in which base you mean it.
---> "In base 1010"
