So, what you’re saying is, they should be teaching kids American numerals instead?
Bingo 👏🏽💯👏🏽

What is an example of an American numeral?

Something tells me the education system failed you about as hard as those kids who don't know the Arabic numerals.
Go Google it. I'll wait.

Still not as outrageous as hearing this
"BREAKING: All students required to learn critical thinking"
I don’t have Grok, but maybe we can ask @NowClaw what Arabic numerals are.
Roman numerals wouldn't be a bad idea (in addition to Arabic) so kids can read fancy clocks
Roman numerals didn’t have a concept of zero though, and if people don’t know what Arabic numerals, are, they just got a zero on the quiz.
NGL, American numerals sounds kind of 🔥
Is that like the Gulf of America where we just rename something that already has a name for ourselves?
No way, let's just make a brand new set of characters. 🇺🇸

Maybe. I don't know them and sarcasm doesn't show great in text unless you really go over the top.
Next thing you know, we’ll all be living under Shawarma Law.
New Yorkers’ humor is kinda subtle.
Love shawarma!
I see where the joke goes if it is a joke. Definitely resting on some assumptions that you can't count on in a global public forum.
No, it’s true, and there are some real dim bulbs out there.
Austria too. Germany, even in Switzerland! 😬 😂
It’s almost as if Arabic numerals are spreading across the globe…

Bro 'Arabic numerals' are 0-9.
Not a fan of him, but for Christ sakes let's be critical of actual policy.
Wait til people learn where algebra came from.
The numerals you've been using all of your life are Arabic.
This thread makes me really happy.
