Can wholesale destruction of American culture be far behind?

Mark my words!

Soon the IRS will be requiring everyone to use Arabic numerals on tax returns!

And next our very language itself will disappear under a great wave of Arabic words, like admiral, adobe, albatross, alcohol, alcove, alfalfa, algebra, algorithm, alkali, apricot, arsenal, artichoke, assassin, ... Some of you may already have heard some of these words!

It's a catastrophe!
