RE: Gettysburg Address

I'll admit to never having given any detailed consideration to the "four score and ten" phrase that Lincoln used and where he got the inspiration. Call me dumb, but I have always considered that the use of the word "score" to mark time (and other things) was much more common 150 years ago and was nothing of special note in the Gettysburg Address.
