I agree that if "two" isn't a word in binary, then "ten" would not be a word in English. I don't like the idea that the "correct" way of speaking one base would be to convert it to another.

So the options to speak 102 are:
- Ten
- Two
- One oh.
- Beep Bip.

I think context matters. If you instructing someone what value to type on a keyboard, then One oh is best. Of you are telling someone the output of a calculation, then Two is least confusing.
