Are there any Romans still around? Hail Cesar! From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John M. Steele Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 7:31 PM To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:49750] Super Bowl: NFL, stop with the Roman numerals
This reporter would rather learn the metric system than decode Roman numerals. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/03/AR2011020303182.html Long rant about Roman numerals for numbering Superbowls. This pragraph says it all: "I'd have no objection to learning, say, the metric system, even in my dotage, because a lot of the world is already using it. Good incentive. Why should I have to decode Roman numerals once a year? The Romans don't even have to do that, for Pete's sake."
