I don't care about fashion&better looks, i care about unified&standardization.
( ;-) adage "Ugly, but uniform")
Sure, but which standard? There are so

Humans are supposed to be smart, they should really be able to figure out two similar symbols are the same thing. Engineers always seem to suffer an excess of OCD.
