Do you really think that XIIIX is a Roman numeral for 17?

I find it unfathomable as to why people persist in using Roman

It goes with saying, sci.math guys know Roman Numerals,
except what they *mean*....

The first time I saw a movie with the line "Copyright CC" I didn't know what
it meant until I thought about it a while. It fell outside my experience
that all copyright dates began with "MCM..."
