    How do you indicate "zero" in roman numerals?

    You don't. I do not believe ancient Rome had a concept of "zero".

    What about null?

    The word uninhibited. Its a double negative right? So why not just 'hibited'?
    And is the word exhibited related?

    What is hibit?
    This makes my brain hurt. I think reading these posts is a bad hibit.

    Isn't that what nuns wear? So I suppose "exhibited" would sort of be like "excommunicated."

    WHa--? I can't even. Nuns wear habits.

    Interesting. From Wikipedia:
    Zero
    The number zero does not have its own Roman numeral, but the word nulla (the Latin word meaning "none") was used by medieval computists in lieu of 0. Dionysius Exiguus was known to use nulla alongside Roman numbers in 525.[13][14] About 725, Bede or one of his colleagues used the letter N, the initial of nulla, in a table of epacts, all written in Roman numbers.[15]

    Oh, cool. So did they just use the word? No symbol for it, just N?

    Huh. Learn something new every day. :smile:

    Yup. Gotta love the Arabic numerals for zero and non-zero reasons. ;)

    "Irregardless" isn't a word, so don't use it.
    The correct spelling isn't superceed, or supercede....it's supersede.

    I'm from CT too and the shelves were empty of all types of bread (including hot dog rolls/hamburger rolls) and gallons of milk (there were still 1/2 gallons)...Hello, most of these people have lived in New England their entire lives...

    Bump because this thread is funny.


    If carbon dioxide is poisonous to humans in large amounts, why do we breathe into a person's lungs during CPR? Aren't we poisoning them with our CO2?
