Im starting to learn scales and understand theory.

Memorizing all the notes on the neck and the scales in them is extremely painful for an old guy like me.

I was wondering tho, why did they call some notes sharp and some flat?

bB and bE is A# and D#, why did they mix it up like they did? Why not make everything in sharp or flat?

Would it be wrong for me to memorize the notes all in sharp or flat? and when i learn them, just convert them to its original flat or sharp?
