I mean, I've personally never heard of the term "Arabic Numeral" being uttered in a classroom from 2nd grade all the way through Highschool in the US Schools I've went to. It's just "write the numbers in words" or in "numbers/digits".

Which is a sad indictment of the school system you attended.

Damn, maybe the US system is worse than I thought.

There are so many general knowledge things that aren't necessary for survival or to do your job that the general populace seems to lack. This is one of them
