Is it a crime to say something is typewritten when it’s not?

In comparing the .gov file side by side with the Nordyke 10637 .gif file, the gov file seems to be computer generated to look like it was typewritten.

The gif file however looks like it was actually typewritten.

A real typewritten document has a majority its characters lined neatly on the left side.

Aside from lining up on the left margin, it also has characters that line up on one or more tab stops.

The Nordyke image is undoubtedly real.

The gov image is obviously fake.

The gov file has what looks like centered fields as in a word processor and looks nothing like a real typewritten doc.

Am I missing something here?

Perhaps they didn’t know how a real typewriter works, that would be my guess.

They might have known about the carriage return bar but I doubt they would know about the ‘TabSet” key.

Dear FRiend,

Adobe Acrobat Pro v. 9.0 has a "typewriter" feature. Save a *.pdf as "typewriter" compatible, and then turn on the feature and start typing away. You can superimpose Courier type on any *.pdf'd document.
