Common mistakes

Wrong: MCMLXXV1

Is MCMLXXV1 the same as MCMLXXVI?

No. MCMLXXV1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMLXXVI.

Wrong: MCMLXXIV

Is MCMLXXIV also 1976?

No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMLXXIV is 1974.

Wrong: MDCCCCLXXVI

Why not MDCCCCLXXVI?

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