Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 02/16/2026 09:32 am I'm not sure why you might think this would be an "error". The far more probable explanation is that it's just somebody signing the note by hand, long after the note was printed. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

The first letter of the first name looks the same, but that's about it. The name looks more like "Jonny Scott" or some such. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
