Greek

Science has pretty much adopted Greek as the language of variables, which makes seeing Greek writing so bizarre. I know all the variables, but the equations don’t make any sense. I spend a ton of time writing, reading, and working with Greek letters! But they’re numbers. And they don’t spell anything like, ‘Bathrooms down the stairs.’

Current affairs aside, I’d sort of expect Arabic or Cyrillic to dominate, both for historical reasons. And yet, it’s all Greek.
