Counting in 12/8

When counting in 6/8 or 12/8, traditionally we count the eight notes as:
                 1+a 2+a    in 6/8                 and                1+a 2+a 3+a 4+a   in 12/8
This works well when we only have to count eighth notes, however when we also have to count sixteenth notes, traditional counting methods don't allow us enough syllables.  So, instead, I think we are better of going back to counting the eighth notes as numbers, i.e 1 2 3 4 5 6  in 6.8 and then we can use the syllable '+' for any in between sixteenth notes.
