Thats one thing I never understood ..... why use Roman numerals ?

loads of books, volumes, movies etc use them, which makes no sense ? and clocks & watches too ! ... why ?

Im sure most people will vote for Numerals because it may seem "right" however if the book is printed in English then use English numbers. Or if Roman numerals are used then why not do a foreward in ancient hebrew ?

................ oh ... its almost XI O'clock !

Yup. "Two Para" wouldn't have looked right either.

I've set this poll so people can change their votes in light of the discussion.

LOL I wish I'd researched it better before posting this poll now! It's so uncool to answer your own questions in public.
