Neither did the gauls phalanx.

[–]kaian-a-coel [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

Er... I'm fairly certain the gauls never fought in phalanxes. By the time Rome came around to conquer them, phalanxes had been obsolete for a while.

You made me re-read a chapter of a book on the gallic warrior. I had some doubts about the Vth century, but you are right, they never fought in phalanx. Source: Fr. MATHIEU, Le guerrier gaulois, du Gallstatt à la conquète Romaine, Paris, 2012 (Knew but never played travian)

If I saw this in my newsfeed I would 100% think it was a joke, but you don't know the person so it could be serious.

I had to make one up for zero.

[–]daxtron2 27ポイント28ポイント  (7子コメント)

I believe in the middle ages they used N in place of zero. The original tally system never had a mark for zero.

[–]spongebue 8ポイント9ポイント  (6子コメント)

Ah, cool. I know zero is a relatively new concept in mathematics (keyword being relatively) and assumed there wasn't anything. Fixed.

[–]paradigmx 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

N for Nil

[–]DishwasherTwig 10ポイント11ポイント  (3子コメント)

Nil comes from nihil which in Latin means nothing. Literally. That's why people who believe in nothing are nihilists.

And while looking that up to make sure nihil came first, I learned that another word for Zero is Cipher. MGSV makes more sense now.

[–]jozzarozzer [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I like how these days we still give things fancy latin names, when back when people spoke latin they were literally just calling things as they were. You're a nothing-ist!

4, I before V = 1 less than 5 = 4. I after V = 1 more than 5 = 6.

Oddly enough, Arabic language uses Indian numerals.

[–]iShootDope_AmA 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

The Indian numeral system was introduced to Europe by an Arab guy so we call them Arabic numerals.

[–]PoopChuteFlute -2ポイント-1ポイント  (11子コメント)

What race do you think Arabs are?

[–]blackflag415 5ポイント6ポイント  (9子コメント)

What is a race and what is white is made up by society and has no context to biology. Arabs are not considered white in modern day United States.

I work in retail and I think this same thing every day of my life. I recently heard a man who must have been at least in his fifties refer to Arabic numerals as "digital numbers".

[–]lollerkeet [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

More likely the parent is hilarious and OP didn't understand it was a joke.

Maybe she thought algebraic was Arabic

[–]imacoda 27ポイント28ポイント  (7子コメント)

Actually I think she's referring to "normal" numbers. 1234567890. Those are Arabic numbers, IIRC.

Wasn't the concept of 0 also an Arabic idea?

[–]jimmy_rigger 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're arabic numerals. The number one is one regardless of the numeral it's written in.

The word, "algebra" is, in fact, Arabic in origin.

So is algorithm. It's a latinzed version of the name of the man who made algebra known.

[–]Pepparkakan 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

As others have said, 0-9 are Arabic numbers. I guess Facebook-user just heard the term "arabic numerals" for the first time and without hesitation figured that the best course of action must be to inform their friends of this obvious transgression.

[–]YRYGAV -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

Or maybe literally their only exposure to numbers in their life was watching the superbowl, so they thought we used roman numerals?
