I don't think I updated that they achieved their fake papers in Anguilla by bribing the governor with cheese

If anybody wants to bribe me with cheese, I'm down for it.

So was the court transcriber-dude. After writing "cheese" normally through the testimony, when it ended with "the governor did send and receive a Cheese" (or whatever) they fancied up the last "cheese"

That’s pretty damn cool/nerdy that you’re doing this.
One would think they would have an official transcriber on staff. A paid position. Especially if they are backlogged to the 1700’s.

This is intern work. You transcribe the digital scans so that they are searchable. The problem is that modern interns weren't taught cursive lol

I was taught cursive. I can still barely read that

Yeah the 1700s stuff is actually a trap because they had their own unique and different abbreviations, spellings, phrases, and without knowing them you could just stare at a word for an age and have no idea what you're actually seeing.

Less than a century (and a boost in pen technology) later and it's as easy to read as anything modern. Easier, even, since typing wasn't a thing and you had to have passable handwriting. Jump another half century into the typewriter age and I have become convinced nobody ever read anything they wrote to each other by hand.

23 of 25. Never owned a pager (though I carried one from time to time), and I only ever put a CD player into my car, not the other way around.

I still shoot film and I still use a record player. Technically I guess I still have my CD collection as well.
