At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a "two spaces" habit.
It's a clear tell.
Saw this meme and thought I'd point that out.

What does my Oxford Comma use say about me?
That you aren't uncultured swine. Or at least that you are considerate enough to put in the effort to make the task of reading your posts as painless as possible.
Commas create clear communication, constructing consistent comprehension clarity, clearly.
Do they? I just load all mine into a shotgun and fire it at the page. I've been doing it for decades, it works great.
Excessive use of commas just makes me read everything inJeff Goldblum's voice.
It depends. Sometimes you need it, sometimes you don't.
It only comes up in a series of three items. The comma before the last item is the Oxford comma.
If the last two items could be confused as the same item, you need the Oxford comma to separate them.
Sometimes they are the same item, and adding the Oxford comma there makes it confusing.
I assume the people down voting this are the half of the country that is illiterate.
I, too, use the Oxford comma
And yet you didn't.
I just wanted a lot of commas haha
