Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCMXXXVIII
Why isn't 1838 written as MCCMXXXVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 1838 is MDCCCXXXVIII.
Wrong: MDCCCXXXIIX
Why isn't 1838 written as MDCCCXXXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 1838 is MDCCCXXXVIII.
