I did not know this until the fall when I was convinced the TV had it wrong and I looked it up.

I just learned that it's no longer correct to type two spaces after a period ending a sentence! Showing my age - I still do and it's a habit I'll probably never break.

I also learned how to make codling moth traps this weekend and that lemon scented ammonia still smells nothing like lemons.

Really? Who gave "them" permission to do that?

Wow, that is news to me. I am still going to do it out of spite

Spell checkers will fix it for you. I had to learn to stop that since I do a lot of transcribing.

That custom ended with "proportional spacing" - before PCs even. It goes back to typewriters with fixed width fonts.

To confuse things even more, if you have a Blackberry, and you put two spaces after a sentence in an email, it automatically adds the period and capitalizes the next letter. So, even if I WANTED to change to the one space after a period, I couldn't do it on my BB (unless I wanted to give up this feature).

I too like how two spaces look after a period. But I do most of my writing online, and most blogs/forums, etc now eliminate the extra space anyway, so I'm wasting effort.
I'm not liking it, but since I've started my dulcimer blog, in the name of efficiency I'm retraining myself slowly lately.

as for the period space space

I have learned that I can hit "ctrl a" to highlight an entire paper, then do a find and replace all

find period space space
replace with period space

HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Guess I showed them!
