@infobeautiful It's amazing to me how many of our letters used to be backwards...

@macronencer @infobeautiful They were originally all forwards, the Romans put us backwards (also mathematics).

@khleedril @infobeautiful I know what you mean but the perspective is of course arbitrary :)

@macronencer @infobeautiful It is not perspective, the Romans literally put us all back.

@khleedril @infobeautiful We'll agree to differ. MY perspective is that CURRENT letters are FORWARDS. Surely I'm entitled to that?

@macronencer @infobeautiful I'm not talking about the order of the letters. I mean that they set humanity's intellectual development back. Re-read the post: double entendre!

@khleedril @infobeautiful My apologies. I didn't notice what you were trying to say!
