Here’s something that bothers me and I have not seen it pointed out before. Look closely at the CBS documents and you will see any numbers and their corresponding th or st are separated by a space, are superscripted, or follow the character l (which could be a the letter vs. a number)
Microsoft word automatically superscripts “th” and “st” following numbers.
If I was trying to prevent superscripts on Microsoft word I would skip a space or use the letter l for the number one.
It’s clear to me someone was trying to prevent superscripts and forgot to leave a space on those superscripted numbers.
You can turn off superscript and subscript in Microsoft Word's autocorrect.
There's another option if you don't want the autocorrect version to appear -- e.g., you want to keep (c) instead of having ©. All you have to do after the program "autocorrects" your typing is hit control+z and it changes back to your original entry. The hit space or your next letter and continue typing (or your data entry).
Not only was Rather's forger inept, he was lazy, too. ;)
