Come off it, Dan, anyone who used a typewriter knew the trick of lifting the
roller a smidge (or lowering it) for sub (or super) script. You must not have
ever typed footnotes.

Sure it was a common trick, but I have never seen it done on official
documents.

For instance I was in the 55th ARRS and that was the proper way to type it
though I have seen 55 ARRS.

By the way, on other of the documents, the forger wrote it with a
space, so as to defeat the auto-corrector. Thus your outfit would be
rendered thus: 55 th.

Again, he was a rank amateur, fooling only the people who wanted to be
fooled. It's no trouble at all, if you're too lazy to turn off
auto-correction, to type 55 th and then delete the space. Word won't
change it then.
