but products that have acetaminophen as the active ingredient. It sounds insane, but that is a *documented* trend that was and still is happening since RFKjr pushed an illegitimate study as gospel.

Again it isn't about having the initial knowledge of etymology as much as the *mechanics* to at least know where your blind spots are and the trained reflex to consider if your immediate assumptions are correct.

common knowledge as to what it's called, but that's the failure of functional literacy. Without an desire to actively learn beyond the basics, people end up having very little idea about how all the systems they rely on work. It also makes it very easy to take advantage of them because they

Even you're attempting to respond by being far too literal. Yes, the symbols are different. It is however the same system in function; Ten symbols that are used in combinations of 1s, 10s, and 100s, as opposed to the previously used Roman numeral system.
