So you read my comment and thought: "That guy who can read the greek alphabet doesn't know there are historical roots for greek letters in mathematical notation".

Sure, back then when everybody who learned trigonometry had a classical education with ancient greek picking greek letters when the latin alphabet wouldn't do was a rational decision. It just hasn't aged well.

I'm just saying that changing the symbols will make things worse, not better.

Virtually all the textbooks use those symbols. Do you have a viable and better alternative to suggest or are you just complaining? And I didn't assume that you know or don't know something, I just wrote it down for the sake of the argument. We are not having a private conversation, we are contributing to a public discussion.

That'd not what they said: they made a claim that a single alphabet is insufficient, and thus Greek makes as good a choice as it was used historically too (and allows easy differentiation).

Math also uses made up symbols specific to math a lot (integral, summations, arrows, operators...).

If you want to claim that Greek is the problem, how would you solve the problem of insufficient symbols?
