Recently, there has been a movement among so-called “intellectuals” and “blue-collar workers” to integrate roman numerals into normal math and lists. Rather than using our time-honored Anglo numerals (1, 2, 3, 15, etc.), these topheavies want us to rely on using letters instead, apparently just leaving all our good numbers to waste away at the top of our American keyboards.
We must remember that the Romans were the same society that invented sodomy, bestiality, alcohol, and fraternities—all of their contributions to world society have been viciously harmful and largely blundering. Why have we not yet recognized the potentially harmful Roman influence on our American society through their numerals, essentially a theft of letters that previously meant things. MIX means mix, not 1,009. This should be obvious.
This extends to movie sequels, by the way. Like every other human being on earth, I tend to like sequels more than originals, but I am sick and tired of seeing a movie with a title like “Rocky V,” which always makes me wonder if the protagonist has changed his last name to Valboa. Give me The Santa Clause 3 over this unAmerican tripe, every time.
