Odd Facts Known By Few
from Barnard P. Fife
Hey, Andy. Listen to this I found in my 'Read a Fact' magazine. It says:
ALL OUT OF SORTS
In printer's lingo, a 'sort' was a substitution - an upside
down M for a W or vice versa, an upside down p for a d.
If you were "all out of sorts," you were out of alternate
possibilities.
Bet you never heard that have ya'?
Nope, never have. But you know something else.
What?
Readin' to yourself is good for your voice box.
Boy, I hate it when you're obtuse!!
