In elementary school our teacher asked us to spell the current year with roman numerals, so I worked out “MCMXCVIII”, which I was quite proud of. Instead the teacher came back at me quite snarky and said it’s much easier to do “IIMM”, just substract 2 from 2000, duh!

It was only years later when I accidently learned that he was indeed full of shit and I was right all along.
