Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCLXXXIX
Why isn't 2989 written as MMDCCCCLXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2989 is MMCMLXXXIX.
Wrong: MMCMLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 2989 written as MMCMLXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2989 is MMCMLXXXIX.
Wrong: MMDCCCCLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 2989 written as MMDCCCCLXXXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and VIIII are not used: 900 = CM, 9 = IX. Together they make MMCMLXXXIX.
