That lists twenty, and the minimum to be "dozens" would be 24.

- cfiggers 4y agoGrammatically, 1.5 donut is wrong and 1.5 donuts is correct. So, in this case "1.66~ dozens" (because 20 / 12 = 1.66~) is pedantically correct. (...But logically and intuitively everything I just said is extremely stupid because by that logic 12.01 counts as "dozens" and that's ridiculous, so your complaint is absolutely correct and I agree with you 100%)
- recursive 4y agoGrammatically, 0.2 donut is wrong also. So by that logic, 0.01 also counts as dozens. I'd argue that "dozens" obviously means there are a multiple of 12.
