I know there are a bunch of freaks who insist on continuing to use 2 spaces after a period when the typeface is automatically kerned and not a mono-spaced font. Their surrender to that old chestnut of a genetic fallacy cannot be helped.
However, THREE SPACES? I mean, what kind of an asshole would use three spaces after a period? Jeez!
These people oughta be flogged. Everybody knows it’s fivespaces. Everybody knows that.
I still double-space after periods. I can’t help it! I learned it that way in typing class and now it’s hard-wired! 🙁
Happy Birthday!
Oh my gosh! He posts! Heh.
Happy Birthday! I hope you’re having a good one.
Me too! Actually, it wasn’t until this year I learned that I wasn’t supposed to! So now I’m working on single spacing after periods. But I’ve been doing it the other way for about 20 years, so it’s a hard habit to break.
I used to be a two-spacer too, but I forced myself to change a few years ago.
Okayfine, I am a freak. I use two spaces after a period. But you know, the only people who ever notice that about my typing happen to be the ONE SPACE FREAKS. 😀
*ahem* However, I do agree that three spaces is excessive.
I need a lot of space around my period. Otherwise I get all cranky and shit.
double-spacing is where it’s at, man.
You win at the internet!
Where ‘it’ is typographical error, that is. 😀
Freeeeaaaaaak! 😀 😀 😀
Thanks! I am!
Thankee
I think we should start using elipsis with 5 periods, too …..
Psst! When did it change? I missed the memo…
where it is at. contraction.
ARE YOU SAYING I’M FAT????????!?!?!? *sob*
not specifically the contraction, but rather the reference to double-spacing. Wait, now I’m confused.
ya ya! hippo birdy!
Heh, no kidding. One space now? Who’s idea was it to change that after, forever! I’m too old to relearn this!
