[QUOTE]Originally posted by MarianLH: [QB] Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QUOTE][i] Why does "Lieutenant" always look wrong when spelled out fully?[/i][/QUOTE]Your boring trivia minutae for the day: A lieutenant was originally an assistant to a senior officer, back in the days when commanders were too aristocratic to be bothered with things like training, provisioning, or barracks discipline. Between battles, while they were off intriguing at court, they left behind a tenant who would oversee matters in lieu of them. Hence the term. :) Marian [/QB][/QUOTE]
