The SI was specially aimed to reduce such meaningless discussions, yet we steel have big endians and little endians comparisons, long after the dust settled.





Now I'm wondering if right-to-left languages (e.g. funnily enough, Arabic) write the least significant digits at the left or the right.

EDIT: numbers in those languages are the same way as in English, the "ones" are at the right. Kinda strange!
