I was trained in two spaces in grad school and have stood firmly by the habit, but lately, I've been hearing mutterings of it being as outdated as organdy aprons.

Oh my good god, NO. This is a leftover from typewriters, babe. NO need for it now. I take out all those extra spaces, every manuscript I edit, and grumble about it the whole time.

I was originally trained in two spaces, but have used only one for a couple of decades because of electronic typesetting.

::sigh::

Darned grad school.

I will begin training myself out immediately.

ha! apparently even when i use two spaces, it doesn't show up that way on the board, but it was drilled into me and that's what i always do.

as for the muffaletta and cilantro, i'm a picky eater. so no muffaletta for me, thanks. cilantro i can't ever really taste. so...

i'm anti-serial comma and also anti-capital letters when i type.

what else ya got?

You can't have my extra spaces.

I have to take them out too, and it's annoying. But I still maintain that two spaces is more readable.

I try to remember to take out my double spaces but I don't always remember. Old habits die hard.

If you use Word, the simplest way is to change the setting in spellcheck.

I had a friendly programmer at my office write a macro for me that removes double spaces from the manuscripts I'm editing. Two keystrokes and they're all gone. I am a big proponent of automating repetitive tasks.
