I not sure what to make of your response. I would suggest you educate yourself otherwise there’s no fixing what’s wrong with you

Never argue with a fool, lest ye be mistaken for one, as well.

I’ve had this argument many times in the past, with links to the earliest known usages, to no avail.

I’m certain that there are foreign readers of American articles who get equally exercised about our notation, when they read it.

Any more, I just try to point out the foreign source of an article, and state that that is their national convention, and let it go at that.

There is none more ignorant than he who refuses to learn.

I, for one, simply enjoy reading the articles, and do my best not to get my panties in a wad over side trivialities.
