Two Spaces
Jun. 7th, 2012 11:07 pmSomething that came to my attention earlier in the week is the apparent move away from using two spaces after a period. I guess I am not that surprised if that is true because of how fluid the rules of writing have been over the years.
Of course I have that double space press after the period so ingrained into my typing that it has been hard to try to break the habit. If I get onto a roll I usually have to go back over afterward to eliminate the extra space.
I guess that is something that just comes from having done it since I can remember typing. I don't even think it shows up in some documents that just auto eliminate the extra space so in the end it probably was redundant.
