012345678 and 9 are what you call numbers, they make it easier for people to understand what you mean while also saving you time. WW2 is a character shorter than WWII, but this isn’t a big of a deal because it can get confusing if someone writes it as wwii. When it comes to xixth it is also better to write as XIXth, I agree. And while 19th is only a character shorter, in this case it saves people a bunch of mega seconds of thinking an converting this. Now you might just really not like the metric system, but this has nothing to do with that. This has to do with why Roman numerals lost to Arabic ones: 012345678 and 9 are easier to understand.

Numbers you said? It’s an interesting idea for sure, but I don’t think the world is ready.
Not with that attitude, you gotta move fast and break things x2
