The good news is that we all get to recover from our Oops moments and their effects are not permanent. :)(y)

The use or rather the misuse of Latin, in post #1 reminded me of the use of Roman numerals in the Super Bowl graphics. The higher the number the more of a struggle to deal with. How did this practice begin?

"In 1967, AFL and Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt proposed using Roman numerals for each Super Bowl to add pomp and gravitas to the game. Roman numerals were, unsurprisingly, used in ancient Rome as a number system. I stands for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50 and C for 100. That's right: In 2066, get ready for Super Bowl C".

"The Roman numerals were adopted to clarify any confusion that may occur because the NFL Championship Game—the Super Bowl—is played in the year following a chronologically recorded season. Numerals I through IV were added later for the first four Super Bowls. Controversially, the only Super Bowl game to not use Roman numerals was Super Bowl 50".

My elderly, retired Pastor, many years back, told me of finding written in the margin of his boyhood Latin book the words: "Latin is a language. At least it used to be. First it killed the Romans, And now its killing me".
 
My OOPS moment happen a couple of years ago,I bought a summer purse which had 4 pockets. I was in a rush going to the store not really looking which pocket I put my apt keys in.When I got back,couldn't find them though I heard them in purse.I buzzed a resident who let me in,asked her to call the office explaining my problem.Our super came with master key,let me in my apt
I profusely thanked him,then went through the purse to find the keys which I did
 
Let's see. I had a doctor's appointment, today. I was way too early, so I decide to drive through the Delaware Water Gap to kill a little time. On my way back to PA from Jersey, there's a toll- $3. I reached for my wallet, and I had forgotten it at home. All I had a was handful of nickels and dimes. There was a line of cars behind, so I didn't want count out $3 in change, so I just gave the woman a bunch of change and told the worker that's all I had, and I forgot my wallet.. She let me through. I got home about 20 minutes ago, and I haven't done anything stupid in the last 20 minutes, but the day isn't done.
