Why the Arabic numbers won

Daughter was reading a catalouge with seeds this evening. She got upset that the number of seeds was marked with M for thousand and that was not correct in her SI-System manner of thinking.

Yes, I replied but M is in the old Roman system that every honest film has in the end with the production year.

Ok she said but the Arabic system won because the Romans forgot one very important thing in there system.. they haven´t got any zero..
