These are mere pronunciation/linguistic differences, though. The cases I am talking about are entirely different meanings/words. That is, 100 decimal is "one hundred" with a binary value of 110 0100. But the same "100" in tonal would be "san" with a binary value of 1 0000 0000. And in the other example, one is "B with double lines" vs "bitcoins".
