About 15 years ago I was in a small print shop in Oswego, NY where they still had a Linotype machine. It was not in use but he maintained it anyway. It was one of the most impressive (complex) mechanical devices I have ever seen. In one of the photos I noticed a platen press very similar to those we used in high school. I recently had to troubleshoot a WordPerfect macro that didn't always seem to work. It seems that WordPerfect still distinguishes between an em dash and an en dash. The macro worked perfectly when adjusted to look for both. I wonder how many people today have problems with page layout because they don't understand the typesetting terminology. I knew someone who was talking about lead, pronounced like to lead a band, when in fact she meant lead, Pb, bars of which were inserted between lines of type for spacing.
