scherzo♫ asked Marc Nash:

Why viii rather than 8?

Marc Nash funny story. I first posted that list to a writers collective blog I was a member of. The blog was hosted on a Wordpress platform and it kept changing my '8' to nonsense. So he only way round that was to replace the 8 with viii. And when I cut and pasted it over to Goodreads, it wouldn't let me change it.
