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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I realize that I have a "two spaces" habit. I have no problem with it. I find the fact that you are so bothered by an extra space after the period to be bizarre.
Hey. Stop breaking the pattern
Only two? Why not six? It's more.
I imagine because it's larger than the space between words (one space), so as to indicate a break in thought, but not long enough to cause the reading to be stilted.
But if you're ee cummings, go right ahead...
For that matter, why not zero? I put 2 spaces because it feels right.
You have a typo habit.
Sorry, what was the typo?
The extra space. It is an error.
According to the style guidelines you follow, maybe. But a "typo" is always a mistake, and my use of the double space after the period is very much an intentional stylistic choice.
