RE: Inspired by Beyond Order & 24 hour time, what's your opinion on Roman Numerals?
Many Kings and Queens have used it in the past. For a King and Queen it's almost necessary. It gets a bit confusing the higher the number. My opinion on it is to represent a family member that may be a Jr. down the line or a King and Queen it's a good method.

I agree that the higher it goes, the harder it is to remember. Even when they do the Roman Numerals for i.e. the end of a movie, it takes me a bit to figure out the date. While it looks fancy, I would honestly prefer it to be in numbers.https://holisticallysecular.proboards.com/

They're better used in some situations than others.. I never fully understood why they were used at the end of TV shows and movies, much easier to just put the numerical year. I'm sure there is a reason, I just can't be bothered to Google it.
When used for titles, whether for people or games (ie. Queen Victoria II or Final Fantasy IX) they just look better..[align=center]http://<img class="bbcode-attachment...="0" alt="" />[FA]far fa-handshake faa-vertical[/FA] Now partnered with Mind Piff!
