We should be calling it the dollar/euro

The relationship between the euro and the dollar is always expressed in a bass-ackwards fashion (in the media).  Today it takes about $1.32 in US dollars to get one euro.  And yet the value is always reported as euro/dollar implying that euro is the numerator and the dollar is the numerator. 

We should be calling it the dollar/euro.

The same thing goes for the pound/dollar relationship.
