What do you mean? X is 10. 1 symbol.
Considering this, for us humans base-10 is base-X
For the four fingered aliens base-10 is base-4. But they don't call it base 4 because they don't use 4 like we don't use X. They say base-10 because for their language it's how they say 4. And that applies for all bases.
