One Space, Two Spaces
Apr. 26th, 2013 07:53 amAdd this to the you learn something new everyday file.
I cannot believe that I truly did not know this, apparently because I learned to type on a typewriter (back in the day), one is no longer supposed to use two spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. It all has to do with proportional fonts. And the funny thing is I love fonts, but I guess I don't really know much about them.
But from here on out, there will be less spaces in my writing. And wow is this ever a challenge. I've been typing since 7th grade, I was twelve, that's 36 years of typing. When they brought in PC's to high school my senior year, those of us who knew how to type had an advantage. But no one ever mentioned all this business about proportional fonts.
So I apologize, for all of my online writings being WRONG. You were all so nice not to mention it too, very polite, thank you. No I am not going to go back and edit them all.
