Brawndo Posted January 6, 2022 Report Posted January 6, 2022 Hey the Sabres play today! Neither Covid, wind nor lake effect snow will prevent this one. Expect a forward call up from the Amerks, JJ perhaps? 1 Quote
inkman Posted January 6, 2022 Report Posted January 6, 2022 I saw a tweet about people needing to stop the double space after a period. The title of this thread is the extreme opposite. 2 Quote
Doohicksie Posted January 6, 2022 Report Posted January 6, 2022 I once read a post by a pedant but decided to passive-aggressively ignore it. Thanks for starting the thread, @Brawndo. 3 Quote

LGR4GM Posted January 6, 2022 Report Posted January 6, 2022 We should beat the Sharks but that doesn't mean we will. I think if Krebs and JJ were playing though we would have a better chance. Quote

Not Sabrespace though. I'm with you though.... I put two spaces and at this point it would require training that I'm not going to do to make it only one space after a period. I'm just a bit younger than you by the way (I'll be 60 this year). Quote

Expand Meh, that was going around several years ago (probably 10). I adapted pretty quickly somehow, and I don't even think about it. Interesting that it's coming back around as "new" and "cancel". Who knows, this may be the article I read back then, not sure: https://slate.com/technology/2011/01/two-spaces-after-a-period-why-you-should-never-ever-do-it.html TL;DR: it was a product of monospace font typewriters in, mostly in the 1950-1980 period before computers came along. Before and after, typographers (people who lay out printed stuff) used proportional fonts (like nearly all computer fonts are now) and it wasn't needed. The various style guides agree on one space, so that's good enough for me. Quote

Flashsabre Posted January 6, 2022 Report Posted January 6, 2022 Cozens and Krebs are never allowed in the same lineup at the same time. If one is in the lineup, the other must be in Covid protocol or injured.😀 Quote
