    The “old style” was Indian Numerals. We have always used and been taught the original style of Arabic Numerals in the modern world.

      I see, thanks for clearing that up. Media really works hard to confuse you now. I thought there was no difference and then the Indian numerals came up and I honestly didn’t know what was the actual was going on at that point.
