Why do we use a numeral system invented by poos and stolen by goat-fuckers?

Why don't we simply go back to our roots, and use roman numerals instead of this turd-world shitty number system?

Yeah cool, how do you display zero in Roman numerals?

Have you seen actual Arabic numerals? You would mix a few of them up. They don't even write in the same direction as us.

Must be the reason why those street shitters crash landed their rocket into the moon.

With a picture of you

for once i agree with a burger, the modern number system was created by North Indians and Arabs and was imposed on rest of the world.

us dravidians need to go back on to our own number system and stopped following this cucked shit.

Because of the second intellectual enemy of you Yanks: math.

(The first is obviously Geography, AKA Yank kryptonite)

Go ahead and test my geographical ignorance.

Go ahead. I dare you.

Zero is Satanic!

Roman numerals were ridiculously inefficient and they don't work anywhere near as well with mathematics.

Indians write in sanskrit, not Arabic.

Here you wrote that Indians crashed their lander because they used Arabic. So yeah, you are pretty ignorant.

Doing arithmetic with roman numerals seems like a massive pain in the ass.

Because 1488 is MCDLXXXVIII, which is way too many characters.

What land was discovered in MCCCCLXXXXII?

It was a pain. Apparently there were techniques that were used, but they were severely limited, same for the systems used by the Greeks, Egyptians and Persians. The use of 0 as a placeholder was one of the few decent idea that came from India.

>no zero
>retarded "five and two" "five minus one" "ten and five and two" contrivances
You would know why if you did any math on a regular basis. Or you're baiting. Sage.

The New World just short of D years after Norse Settlement of Vinland, first landing on San Salvador in the Bahamas.

Actually, it's XIV/LXXXVIII, which is arguably worse.

The reason why roman system died is because it's inconvenient in the world of commerce, once numbers started to climb tens and hundreds of thousands. And calculating them was a ridiculous chore. Even now you might _think_ you're calculating in roman numbers, but the truth is, you actually calculating in arab numbers and write the end result in roman.

We had more letters we could have used. What was stopping "R" or "T" from being numbers?

You got that right, and I even used the old additive notation for Roman Numerals (the Romans didn't use the subtractive notation like IX that became popular only in the Middle Ages).

I am now convinced you are not a legitimate American and I am calling ICE on you!!

Kannada eh? Where in Karnataka are you from?

fpbp

It won't work without zero, and if you add zero, you will be forced to reimage whole system, which in turn will be just arab numbers represented differently. Like in all those sci-fi movies where aliens use the same system as we that just have slightly different looking numbers.

>It won't work without zero
Yes you can, and it is actually not that difficult to learn and quite beautiful:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijective_numeration

Zero is the most over-hyped number ever, there is no zero, no half, no infinite, nor infinitesimal.

"Die ganzen Zahlen hat der liebe Gott gemacht, alles andere ist Menschenwerk."

So let's use base 6 instead. You can count to 36 with two hands of reasonable dexterity, and numbers divisible by 3 always end in 0 or 3.
