.............. UBIsoft has officially changed the name Silent Hunter IV into Silent Hunter 4 ?

That is probably because they want to sell the sim to zillions of instant action loving kiddies that have no idea what IV means

It's okay, people are always substituting Arabic numbers for Roman numerals anyway, as in Silent Hunter 111 instead of III. I mean, "Silent Hunter One-Eleven"?

Really.

Heh. I think Scrubs is funny. I don't like when it becomes abruptly serious, personally.

And I'm reminded of this from the Simpsons:

Edna Krabappel: "Pay attention to this lesson on Roman numerals, children, or you won't know the years certain films were made"
