We've all already paid that price for English, though. Why make everyone pay extra?

The price that was paid for learning the language of math is something that everyone who needs to work with these things are happy to pay. If the notation doesn’t make sense, it’s discarded for ones that does.

It may not make sense for layperson but that’s not really the audience.
