>>5510472Ok, instead of using other misnomers to show how the wrong words are accepted all the time, I'll explain how oyu don't even understand the words you're using and are only repeating popular speak like a memeing idiot.
1/12 is a fraction and in this case, it's being used to mean 72/12 = 6" figure. It's incomplete and basically slang. 1/12 is like saying an eye represents an a human, while 72/12 is a whole human.
What other slang is used? 3¾" scale, 6" scale, N scale, etc, they actually convey the size of the scale... albeit weirdly.
"One twelfth" is shorthand speak, because saying 72/12ths is too long, and/or someone never got into ratios before quiting elementary school, because it's just as easy to say "one twelve" (1:12).
