Platignum is a brand of famous pen and apparently, a few famous writers used to hand write their manuscripts and the books were best sellers. So "Platignum" was used in phrases such as "I just wrote my latest book -it's pure platignum" (platinum being worth a lot back then). I think I may change it as I'm wondering how many others are going too get the joke......Terry Hooper-Scharfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09640253872553303307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266056566078305802.post-39999024810516147112015-02-12T08:38:14.848-08:002015-02-12T08:38:14.848-08:00why is that Platinum is spelled as Platignum?
