No you fool!

I find the Roman Numeral IIII very annoying. As far as I know, as soon as you reach 3 numerals, you start subtracting from the next one, thus is goes I, II, III, IV, not IIII. I'm pretty sure that no numeral appears more than III 3 times, apart from M because there's nothing above it…

It just gets on my nerves and I wish people wouldn't do it…
