Rule 5 or Rule V?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

What difference does it make if they both mean the same thing? Are there imbeciles out there actually pronouncing it "Rule Vee Draft"?

 

duh. like the movie rocky vee. that was awesome.

 

No. Rocky Vee sucked. Now, Rocky eye-vee...that one was awesome!

okay I hope people don't seriously think I don't know that V is the roman numeral and not the letter. jesus christ people, it's just a simple question of semantics

 

It's either/or. The same way that Super Bowl XLI is Super Bowl 41.

I didn't think you did, I was just questioning why it's officially Rule 5 why people say Rule V is wrong when it's the same damn thing.

Because it's actually written in the book as Rule 5. I think somebody way back when thought they'd be all fancy and wrote Rule V because you often see things broken down that way in similar documents, and it stuck. But there's no reason for it to be written V.

There is no Super Bowl 41. The Super Bowl is officially listed in roman numerals. Rule 5 is officially written in........ what are those called again? Numerical numerals? Numberals?

When you reach the point in your life when you become a numbers elitist, it's time to step away from the internet and think about changing your life.

The important question is, does it matter? V means 5. You don't actually sound out "rule vee" do you?

This thread is awesome.

Not that it makes any difference, but it's refered to 3 times in the basic agreement as Rule 5, so "V" it's not. http://mlbplayers.mlb.com/pa/pdf/cba_english.pdf
