Arabic Numerals are pretty and all, but..

[BlueBird]

They're visually ambiguous after 6. 1, 2,3,4,5,6. See the *points* on each graphic kinda suggests the value until 7. 7 can easily be misconstrued with 3. 9 should be before 8, in the sequence.

Yes , it's all clear to me now, 7 just does not work, 7 is chaotic. Therefore I'm proposing a universal switch to Latin numerals. It's good enough for sequencing the Super Bowl.

what's wrong with 7 in the arabic system? i don't think it should be switched at all. b/c it looks like a V and then 8 is also a V upside down, easier to remember. 6 is probably the most confusing as it really is 7 in EN.
