Same with numbers, days of the week, months, hours. Someone came up with everything somewhere along the way and the person next to them said OK. Sounds good.
Well idk about why numbers have their specific names but I do know that the symbols for each number was decided that way because it contained the same number of angles as the number, eventually they became more rounded as that was just easier to write
Still someone's made up rule. Point is, everything we "know" today is someone else's "made from scratch". All man "made up". Dollars, cents, material possessions, everything.
@usuallythoughtful1 That's why 7's used to have horizontal lines! YES. Sorry, I forgot most of this argument like 10 years ago but that fact reminded me.
