  As Roman numerals are composed of ordinary alphabetic characters, there may sometimes be confusion with other uses of the same letters. For example, " XXX " and " XL " have other connotations in addition to their values as Roman numerals, while " IXL " more often than not is a gramogram of "I excel", and is in any case not an unambiguous Roman numeral.
