danforth said: Er, looking at your text, I’m wondering… do you double space after a period? You know it’s, like, the Internet now, right? And not some old Little House on the Prairie typewriter class? You’re not supposed to do that anymore, grandma.
No, you are supposed to do that. That’s how rules work. Someone says, “Hey this is how we do a thing,” and then you do it that way. Like two spaces after a period. Just like that.
Just. Like. That.
When I studied journalism, it pained me to follow AP Stylebook guidelines of a single space after a period. But I did it, and liked it.
