Then, it was largely a matter of literacy.

And he took that personally and translated the bible to German and got it printed for everyone.

Wait, so you're saying that the main person to blame for me struggling with German numbers is Luthor? I need to report this incident to the Justice League.

When I try searching for Luthers influence on numbers, I just get data about Luther (year of birth, age at death, etc.).
