Common mistakes
Wrong: MCMLXX1X
Is MCMLXX1X the same as MCMLXXIX?
No. MCMLXX1X has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMLXXIX.
Wrong: MCMLXXXI
Is MCMLXXXI also 1979?
No. Swapping the last two letters turns a subtraction into an addition: MCMLXXXI is 1981.
Wrong: MDCCCCLXXIX
Why not MDCCCCLXXIX?
A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMLXXIX.
