    3. Greetings to all from a lurker! Can anyone explain why the double Fs at the beginning of Ffrye? Another example I've seen -- the family name Ffrench.

    3. Hi Augusta >From another lurker.... "Old English Writing" used "ff" for "F" - it's really no more than an affectation to retain names starting "ff..." - but at least it can be considered far more accurate usage than "Ff..."

    3. I have always assumed that is English affectation, but then I am a cynic. Doubtless there is a reason though.
