Please don't laugh! But what's driving me nuts is the one or two space thing after a period! When I was in school, they drummed it into our heads that you must always typed TWO spaces after a period and before you type the first letter of the next sentence. So, here I type merily on my way, and I notice a lot of programs remove my nicely spaced second space and leave me with one.Doesn't it look odd to you?
Now, I did a fast Google search and they said that the old way was double space because of typewriters but with computers they havve properly scaled the fonts, so its not neccesary. Is it? hmmm.... it just seems so *wrong* waaaaaah! So they claim that the one space is the "current" way to properly do something.
So why do they have generations of kids being hit over the head with two spaces, and now they are hitting us over the head with one? Are they trying to make me loose my mind? Seriously! Isn't it enough that I keep up with the current internet lingo, now I have to re-teach my stubborn fingers to tye just one space? I hate technology!If this is true, I'm also going to have to appologise to my daughter for yelling at her that she needs to have two spaces! Please don't make me admit I was wrong!
Sigh, so who out there uses one, who uses two?
PS: I don't care what they "experts" say! I think that double space is cleaner looking! So there!![]()
