Genuine coins from the early 1600s, of any country, are rarely perfectly round. Here's a genuine shilling. Here's a sixpence and another shilling. 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
