I’ve slowly been training myself to use one space but it’s everything I’ve ever known so it is a challenge.

It took a lot of reprogramming but it is the Way. A lot of what I do is formatting emails in a template for distro and one spaces works so much better as far as space utilization and styling goes. It has definitely helped break the habit. I also very much appreciate the Mandalorian reference. |

I know a lot of lawyers that will fight you to the death about two spaces after a period.

My co teacher is a two+ spacer and it drives me crazy. He's been drafting our parent emails then sending them to me to resend to my parents and the first thing I do is go through and take out all the extra spaces. Sometimes he puts like three or four in and it drives me insane!

I started typing about 40 years ago. You know what? I may have actually learned to type with just one space at the end of a sentence. Maybe Was that one or two? |

My 6 yo has been using kids messenger and always puts in multiple spaces so it inserts a period automatically. So her things are like "hi. nana. thanks. for. the. card."
I'm also a two spacer, hard habit to kick.

Also - Will Reeve is Christopher Reeve's son. I feel like there's a Clark Kent/Superman joke in there somewhere but my brain is too fried right now to think of it. 😂

There's some like 20 year old weirdo standing at the back of the grocery store parking lot in a maga hat yelling Bible verses into a microphone.
Weird times, guys.

Nothing helps lost souls "find the truth" like screaming Bible verses at them in a parking lot. While wearing a hat that basically represents everything Jesus hates. |
