5.25 Roman numerals
Roman numerals are becoming increasingly rare, but they still have the following uses:
- names of rulers, aristocrats, and the names of ships, racing cars and space vehicles
- numbers of volumes, chapters, tables, plates, acts and other divisions of a book or play
- Government of Canada statutes
- years, centuries, and recurring events of ajor importance
Not to be picky, but “Rommans” doesn’t looks a bit fat ‘cos of the m-zymes ?
Sure enough. Thanks for catching that.
