Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCXXCVIII
Why isn't 1388 written as MCCCXXCVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 1388 is MCCCLXXXVIII.
Wrong: MCCCLXXXIIX
Why isn't 1388 written as MCCCLXXXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 1388 is MCCCLXXXVIII.
