Common mistakes
Wrong: MDCCXXCVIII
Why isn't 1788 written as MDCCXXCVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 1788 is MDCCLXXXVIII.
Wrong: MDCCLXXXIIX
Why isn't 1788 written as MDCCLXXXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 1788 is MDCCLXXXVIII.
