Actually, they probably don't realise they are talking about fixed-pitch, and they may well really mean "ten point". As pitch gets bigger, point gets smaller and vice versa. The more characters (increasing pitch) you cram into an inch, the smaller (decreasing point) those characters have to be. And it just works out that a 10-pitch and a 12-point font are roughly interchangeable, as are a 12-pitch and 10-point font.
