RE: XCXXVII

I got curious today and started wondering what XCXXVII (see prev. post) actually meant. Looked up a Roman to Arabic numerals converter on Google, went to CalculateMe.com's converter page, plugged in the offending digits, and was promptly told off for having bad form.

"XCX is not correct syntax. Replace with C."

Yes, I did just get burned by an online service.

My little mind, she is blown.

PS. CXVII = 117.
