Nice! Thanks for all the info. I should have more properly put "mistake" in quotes. While some kids can't read a regular clock face, I was amused when reminded that mine - having learned to read Roman numerals - were quick to point out an "error" on the clock, since they had only learned that four = "IV". When they asked me about it, I didn't have an answer, except to say that it was [I presumed] another way of writing the four, how commonly used or accepted I did not know.

Hi Thinkin' Gal,

Thanks for the reply. Maybe you could tell me one other thing. What are digits used to show the number "9" on the dial of that clock? Are they showing "IX" or "VIIII"?
