Should Arabic numerals be taught in US schools?

haha

They're actually Indian numbers. They're just called Arabic numbers because Europeans learned them from the Arabs.

Actually, shouldn't we change their name to Universal numbers or Common numbers so no one is offended like BC, AD and GMT have been changed to BCE, CE and UTC?

Who is offended by calling them Arabic numerals?

Political trolling. Best to ignore.

Aw, c'mon. Arabic numbers are for wimps!

Real men type:

XVMMDLXXVII

Pasted too soon, lol

Real men write:

__
XLIII * CDIX = XVMMDLXXVII

Aaarrrrgh!

___
XLIII * CDIX = XVMMDLXXVII

No wonder we don't use this shit. ;-)

Nothing controversial about this post at all. It's just incredibly idiotic. Dude, you got too much fucking time on your hands.

One more attempt to line up the bar:

___
XLIII * CDIX = XVMMDLXXVII

I give up,!

Never!

1-2-3-4...Can I have a little more?
5-6-7-8 ...Can I take you out to eat?
A-B-C-D... can I take you out for tea?
E-F-G-H... I love you !

If the OP is supposed to be a joke I don't get it

I haven't even used algebra since I graduated high school.

Troll x 12. GFO

Apparently over 50 percent of Americans in a recent poll felt Arabic Numerals shouldn't be taught in school.

People are dumb

I think VEEP has this covered:

Roman numerals don't have a zero. All mathematics is based on using Arabic numerals, they go at least back to the middle ages.
