Didn't realize homie was an antiquated clock. (Assumed the usage of Roman numerals, like in the references being made, in which case I don't believe the clumsy VIIII only used on old clocks would really be valid.)

This made me really laugh. Thought I would let you know ๐Ÿ˜‚

VIIII wasn't exclusive to clocks, that's the only long-lasting example we still have access to.

Your point is that VIIII was ever used in history? Happily conceded.
