Roman numerals, eh? Get rid of them!
I agree! When my physics students wrote reports and use Roman numerals to designate different sections, I would write:
"Ancient Roman numerals should be used only by ancient Romans."
If the report had to be corrected in other ways, I would require them to "correct" the roman numerals, too, by changing them to Arabic numerals. (I didn't ever require that they rewrite a report JUST to correct Roman numerals.)
Scott said he only sees Roman numerals on movie copyrights. Unfortunately, I see them in much more widely seen places.
You don't think "Super Bowl XL"
means "Super Bowl Excel" or something, do you?
