The 86-year-old May Ashworth is everywhere, from social media to news portal, because of her one simple request on Google. "Please translate these roman numerals mcmxcvii thank you," the search said, followed by the answer — 1998. Ben, her grandson, snapped a picture of the search and shared it on Twitter. His tweet has since blown up — it has more than 16,000 retweets and 23,000 likes - and ended up receiving a live response from Google itself, which was again shared by many people.

"I feel a bit stupid really 'cause I did it that way," granny said, "I thought, well somebody's put it in, so you're thanking them."
