Common mistakes
Wrong: MCMLXXX1
Is MCMLXXX1 the same as MCMLXXXI?
No. MCMLXXX1 has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMLXXXI.
Wrong: MCMLXXIX
Is MCMLXXIX also 1981?
No. Swapping the last two letters puts the smaller symbol first, so it subtracts: MCMLXXIX is 1979.
Wrong: MDCCCCLXXXI
Why not MDCCCCLXXXI?
A symbol repeats at most three times in a row. The standard form uses subtraction: MCMLXXXI.
