I learned touch-typing as a Sophomore in high school in the mid-1970s, and later, as one of my contributions to our school newsmagazine I typed the articles we would later paste up by hand. To obtain a justified paragraph one would have to first write the article on yellow, less expensive paper, manually count the number of characters in any given line, determine how wide in characters a column would be, then divide the available space across the line, counting as one would type.
Tedious?
Our newspaper typewriter? An IBM Selectric.
I do not recall curved apostrophes and I certainly do not recall a superscript "th" character key.
Reviewing a copy of the document purported to be a memo of a now-deceased officer, the only way that "th" could have been created was with a special key -- or with contemporary word processing software.
I've typed on other Selectrics, and have a small collection of manual and electric typewriters of various makes and models.
I do not know of a one that offered any of the features under the glare of FReeper scrutiny -- and hopefully soon under the glare of everyone's scrutiny.
Who created the forged documents? Who passed them to the media? Why did CBS report this in the manner it did without checking first the documents' authenticity?
