Common mistakes

Wrong: MCMXC1X

Is MCMXC1X the same as MCMXCIX?

No. MCMXC1X has the digit 1 where the letter I should be, so it isn't a Roman numeral. The year is MCMXCIX.

Wrong: MIM

Why not MIM?

It subtracts across places, which isn't allowed: only I, X and C subtract, and only from the next two symbols up. Write each place on its own: MCMXCIX.

Wrong: MCMIC

Why not MCMIC?

It subtracts across places, which isn't allowed: only I, X and C subtract, and only from the next two symbols up. Write each place on its own: MCMXCIX.
