You just said .01 is .01, so 1 plus .01 is 1.01. (Unless you're going to define the addition operation differently than usual.)
1.01 is 101/100. 101 becomes þ1, so 1.01 becomes 0.þ1

2.01 becomes 1.þ1, just as 201 becomes 1þ1

I'm not trying to get rid of zeros, they just drop out. I love zeros. But we could get rid of leading zeros by using exponential notation, if you like.

Maybe implementing new decimal will be my hobby. This and the prime number thing. And getting rid of Mondays. And trying to make sense of tw.

Are any of these things possible? Probably not.
