You may have noticed that I occasionally make use of the Roman alphabet for certain designations. And for the last forty-four years the National Football League has designated their Super Bowl with a Roman numeral. But not so for 2016 which will be game number fifty which they have designated number "50" as a lonely "L" would not make for an attractive logo image. Latin is already a "dead" language and they want to shovel it into the dustbin. But wait! For year 2017 they plan to revert to LI (fifty-one) - not to offend anyone but this sounds a bit Asian. Can't these folks make up their minds?
