Arabic numbers

THIS has really wound me up. Did you know that Arabic numbers IS being taught to our children? Apparently it’s been going on for years. Anyone else think we should stick to English numbers?

Is this a FAKE attempt at integrating us with a vast number of immigrants?

Couldn’t believe this when I heard it on the NEWS

WELL all I have to say about IT is that we shouldn't be FOOLED into ignoring such atrocities. If it was up to ME i'd be all FOR marching to Parliament with A petition. There is not a MOMENT to lose.

Arabic numbers are the following:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 0

Numbers in Arabic are something else....

So op, which do you mean?

They're also integrating other countries languages into English as well! The words trace back to France, Germany, Italian and even Anglo Saxon; I say keep English as it always has been

Aye.

University of Kings College London original quote:

“Arabic numerals, also called Hindu–Arabic numerals, are the ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, based on the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, the most common system for the symbolic representation of numbers in the world today”.

That would be ‘are’ being taught too.

Wiki says: “The first recorded zero appeared in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C. The Mayans invented it independently circa 4 A.D. It was later devised in India in the mid-fifth century, spread to Cambodia near the end of the seventh century, and into China and the Islamic countries at the end of the eighth“

Yep, done that, hence the last sentence. Still, not worth worrying about the grammar when the next generation might not be able to count either if you got your own way
