Spot on - you are up Monday! A Mutton is a "printers mark" (actually a width of space when movable type was used) also known as an "Em". Half that space (half an Em or half a Mutton) was known as an "En" (also called a "Nut"). (My Mother was a printer, before she retrained as a Probation Officer)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
Trust ewe to be obsessed by things that sound like they are sheep inspired. :rolleyes:

I thought it must have been a pet name for some old ewe out back. :laugh: That part had me stumped...

I know what an em is (and en), but never knew of them as muttons. You learn something new every day.
Maybe not every day, but every day you do is a good one! :thumbsup:

That's a bit of a coincidence my "Brother" was a printer too. :laugh:
Moveable type? Offset Litho? Hot metal? Or the electronic era?
