"We have trust issues." Mylar

I still love this thread more than my latest pair of red pumps! Welcome, lurkers, one and all.

And since we're declaring, serial commas are good. Olives are of the devil. Until just a minute ago, I'd no idea that two spaces after a period was even questioned as The Thing To Do. I'll not be changing thanks to my 9th grade 5th period typing class with very strict nuns. I've never had Frenet, but I'm not a big drinker so I think it would be very much not my thing. I fully support others digging on it. Cilantro? I can take it or leave it. And the Kats amongst the Buffistas rock the party all night long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

this board really does condense all post-period spaces to a single space.

Not this board--HTML. All the young kids are doing it these days. Unless you force it with non-breaking spaces, the default is to compress any multiple spaces into one.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Double spaces will look weird.  It makes the sentences further apart!  Like they don't like each other or something.  One space for words; one space for sentences.  Equality!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

One space for words; one space for sentences. Equality!

Words and sentences are not equal.

Or, if you prefer, I'll trade you this shiny dime for a dollar.

There's no point in lurking on alt.gothic!

YES THERE WAS!

Okay, I only lurked on alt.gothic.fashion, where maybe it was more pointy?

I agree!

A capital offer, sir, but I must decline.

Did I mention the dime was shiny? Whereas the dollar refuses to reflect the light.

Truly, these attributes are desirable, but I am a strange man who measures the worth of money by its monetary value rather than its reflective qualities.

Ahaahaha. No, alt.gothic.fashion was not more pointy than alt.gothic. a.g ate its young as a post-gothclub snack. The flame wars on a.g. were EPIC. a.g.f was like fluffy bunny snuggle time compared to a.g.
