        Any number is a number of dozens if you think about it

          This sounds pedantic, but honestly I just think the language of it is very interesting:

          Any number can be dozens, except 1 or -1.

          0 dozens, Pi dozens, 4.5 dozens, 1 dozen.

          And now the word dozen has lost all visual meaning to me.

            To sound (and be) even more pedantic though, any number except one (1) can be dozens, but truly any number can be a number of dozens, as my comment said.

            1 is a number.
