When they first taught us the alphabet in school, it seemed like an incredibly daunting task to me. There were so many different letters, how would I learn them all?!Then they introduced us to math and told us there's an infinite amount of numbers. I just thought "that's it, no way I'll learn them all, I'll have to become a famous singer".Turned out I suck at singing. And I still don't know all the numbers. Pretty good with the alphabet, though.

@mdhughes @fribbledom cyrylic is not all that big, and half of it is copy-paste from greek anyway.

@fribbledom I learned all the letters before I went to school. And I don't remember anyone trying to teach me alphabet either, it's just.. you know, if you have magnetic letters on your fridge and your parents behave like these letters mean some words or sth, you start to have questions...

@Wolf480pl @fribbledom I asked a lot of questions. The one concrete thing I do remember is my sister writing down the alphabet on a piece of paper and putting it up on the notice board on the wall near my bed.

@fribbledom Haven't reached Ramanujan status of being personal friends with every integer?

@fribbledomMay I introduce you to the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets? It's like a whole new world.Oh, and what about all that weird letters like äàáëüç, which are also part of the Latin alphabet? ;)

@fribbledom but we would rather scroll through miles of emojis...and that too horizontally on a tiny screen.

@fribbledom I still remember my mind being blown by:• there are ♾ integers• there are ♾ real numbers• there are more real numbers than integers, by definitionTherefore, some infinities are greater than others

@fribbledom Letters are just digits in disguise.
