Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCMXXXVIII
Why isn't 2838 written as MMCCMXXXVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 2838 is MMDCCCXXXVIII.
Wrong: MMDCCCXXXIIX
Why isn't 2838 written as MMDCCCXXXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 2838 is MMDCCCXXXVIII.
