is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

in rock [late 70's and 80's] that's not exactly a rare progression either
you could consider the Dm as being an alternative to F for a little spicing up
G - G - F - C becomes G - G - Dm - C
in this context you can hear that the F and Dm chords function in a similar way

the upper case / lower case thing was not how I was taught so I don't follow it
you don't really need to do it cos if you know the key centre you have enough information to know what's going on
but if folks like the upper / lower case thing for clarity that's cool and I'll never argue against it
EDIT: question... did the upper / lower case thing come out of the US?
e.g. I would notate All Along The Watchtower as I bVII bVI etc but strictly according to the Nashville numbering system it's vi V IV etc.
No Air by Jordin Sparks ft Chris Brown
G Dm Am C
Gravity by John Mayer
G G |Dm C|G/B Am|
I would write it i bVII IV.
Examples in rock of a Dm, C & G chord progression include -
Rain by The Cult
Solo section of Edie Ciao Baby by The Cult
Fire by The Cult
And just for variety, an Example in rock of a D, C & G progression is -
She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult
I don’t know how far back the use of numbering for chords goes but it was certainly around in the 1700s and always related to the tonic of the piece, whether it was in ionian, aeolian, dorian or anything else.

i - bVII - IV
or
i - VII - IV

@bloodandtears I’d view your initial chords as being ii- I - V. I’d be happy seeing or thinking of it as i - VII - IV too. Both are fine and that’s the problem here, there can be many ways of looking at same problem. I think the most important thing is that you state where you’re relating things to. Analysing against C will result in different answers to Dm.
However I prefer the former because in my mind at least there is less thinking involved, particularly when dealing with tunes that have a lot of changes in them. Taking Stella By Starlight for example, where is home? How do the chords fit in relation to home and does this throw up any problems?
Because of this, I’d hazard a guess that it originated in the States, primarily with Jazz where the ii V I is the foundation for which most things are built. It makes it much easier from an improvisation perspective too and as with all things American, it’s made it’s way over here.
