Common mistakes

Wrong: MCMLXX1V

Is MCMLXX1V the same as MCMLXXIV?

No. MCMLXX1V has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMLXXIV.

Wrong: MCMLXXVI

Is MCMLXXVI also 1974?

No. Swapping the last two letters turns a subtraction into an addition: MCMLXXVI is 1976.

Wrong: MDCCCCLXXIV

Why not MDCCCCLXXIV?

A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMLXXIV.
