>>Although, watching the Wimbledon tournament, I've heard them say "15 each". And considering the odd scoring used in Tennis, I doubt anybody wants to use tennis as a role model. Why doesn't tennis just count 0, 1, 2, 3 like normal humans instead of love, 15, 30, 40? There's probably a historical story to it, but there is also such a thing as evolution.

I should qualify that. I've heard it from the commentators, but not from anyone official. On the other hand, I've also heard what some of the players had for breakfast, so maybe I shouldn't put too much faith in them.
