Same. What kind of degenerate would call anything but the natural logarithm log?

This is true everywhere. The natural logarithm is ln(argument). log(argument) is always base 10 unless explicitly defined.

False, we always referred to the natural logarithm as log during the entirety of my MSc in math, but to be fair we never considered any other logarithm. "ln" seems like a high school, engineering, CS and/or US thing.

American mathematicians always write log for base e.

I've never seen anyone do it that way, natural log is either ln, or log subscript e, but never just log.

It depends on the field more than the country that the work is being done in. In CS, log is in base 2 (because computers) are binary. In math and fields that use a lot of math, log is base e. Otherwise, for most practical business purposes with no direct scientific application, common life and scientific fields that don’t rely on math as much, log is in base 10 (because the average person has 10 fingers).

its base 10 because of order of magnitude which is a conceptually intuitive base for an exponent to most people.

Maybe it's because our numbers are in base 10 bro
