For the grammar police: One space after periods, people

[Buns_of_Fire]

25. I hate that "run-on" look, too.

And youre right it looks like someone who just talks on and on and on and on and never really says anything as if theyre paid by the word and who never even really pays a lot of attention about punctuation or spelling like I really get torqued at people who use loose when they mean lose but Im digressing here because I really want to comment on the single space versus double space issue because I too learned to type in the olden days on a manual typewriter that had a sticking "A" key and Id always have to stop mid paper to reach up and flip back all the keys that had clustered together and Id get frustrated and hit the typewriter and that would anger the instructor which is why I only got a "B" even though I could type like greasy lightning except for that damned "A" key but anyway I remember being taught to always use a double-space after a period which I still do if Im using a monospace font but I've broken the habit when using proportional fonts even though I still sometimes have a problem with brevity and staying on subject which is probably something else altogether but anyway Ive now progressed to the point where Im paid for the cogency and accuracy of my statements which probably explains why I haven't made a dime writing anything.

*gasping breath*

So, uh... what were we talking about again?
