This implies that they are actually "speaking" in text, because over actual speech 10 said in base 10 would be "ten" and 10 said in base 2 would be "one zero", i.e. not ambiguous at all.

There's no rule saying that you can't pronounce 10 in binary as ten.

thank you for giving me a great torture idea for all my IT adjacent friends, from now on i'll be pronouncing all binary as if it were one number (up until i can't be bothered anymore)
