It was a Freeper who first noticed that the numeral designation of George Bush’s unit didn’t look right.

The the “137th” or which ever number it was had a “superscript ‘th’” ... meaning the the was half way up the 137 and not “on-line.”

Superscripts came with MicroSoft Word in the mid-’90s?

Before that. Gates wasn’t the first in line for this. In the ‘70us, I used word processing by Wang in the ‘70s with proportional spacing, and the MTST/MTSC by IBM.
