>Est Annus MMXVI

Daily reminder that the numbers you learned in school (0,1,2,etc..) were written in Arabic form.

This is an example of how the Arabs have assaulted our educational system.

Fight back White Man, vow to only use Roman numerals for all your written number usage.

The key feature of our decimal system (positional notation with the use of zero), has origins much older than Hindu-Arabic numerals. If don't want to use anything "arabic", you can just change the glyphs and/or use a different base.

"Arabic" numerals are superior to "Roman" numerals. It is the perfect system of expressing numbers, most people don't realize just how ingenious it is. I can't imagine living in a world where I had to use shitty "Roman" numerals.

Those are actually hindu numerals. Arabs switched to hindu numerals as they match arabic writing much better.

However 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc are all arabic numerals. And a large portion of the middle east use them exclusively. Hindu numerals are to make thjings look fancy.
