Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 6:31 pm It would have had significance to the person that did the engraving: somebody named JHS loved somebody named EOD. But if it isn't a family heirloom and you know you had ancestors with those initials, then it's pretty much impossible to figure out who those people were. 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
