This is true, and a foundational distinction in law, which makes it unfortunate that so many folks think you're being pedantic due to being confident in their knowledge base on subjects they aren't educated in.

Your point is that VIIII was ever used in history? Happily conceded.
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.)
Uh, you mean "IX"?
There is a big difference between criminal law and civil (tort) law. "Suing" takes place in civil court and is not a matter of actions being criminal offenses, violations, or "illegal," and tort cases have different burdens of proof.
You can sue someone for just about anything, hence the concept of "frivolous lawsuits." That wouldn't need have anything to do with a criminal offense, of which, no, "insult" is generally not.
A small amount of education on the law as it relates to murder and homicide will disabuse you of this naiveté.
