I remember my English teacher teaching this and I typed that way for years, only to drop it to one space when someone commented on it in a work email. Then I convinced myself I made remembered it wrong from English class. It's formal writing, so mostly found in peer reviewed research papers, books, formal essays, the educational community. But since no one uses formal writing techniques in everyday communication, it probably looks weird to most people. Makes sense someone was like..."wtf is that?!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not used in formal writing, and it's against our forum rules too. 19 hours ago, big_palooka said: Wait... for real?

jimkelly02 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Not using double spacing after a period is insanity. What kind of Blasphemous nonsense is grammerly and whoever else trying to pull. It’s 2 spaces…. I’d rather entertain the idea of JMD for lifetime coach of the Raiders than single space after a period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydFan Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 We double space after the period in all of our court filings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, let’s get our stuff together and march into their little Chiefdom and beat them down like we did a few years ago with Carr and Ruggs connecting a few times. I’d much rather see Mahomes scurry off without shaking hands like a child again than see him leave on a stretcher. Respect his talent and that of KC, but love to go to their house and TKO them 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly… there has to be some standards in life and double spacing after a period, explanation mark, or question mark Is one of them. When did single spacing become a thing? Whose behind this single spacing nonesense? I think it’s the iPhone. Cuz I just noticed it allows for single spacing. I never even noticed it until now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an european thing. I never heard about double spacing until now. Back in school i learned typing with a typewriter and we always used single spacing.

Not really sure I agree, I wouldn’t like to see a player (well, excepting a certain sex offender QB) get a serious injury. I agree the QB must go down and he must go down hard. Sure, knock him out for the game with some sore ribs or something but I’m not advocating putting a bounty on his head and trying to break his legs. We can beat him fair and square as we’ve done in the past. Beat him up like the Buccs did but don’t cripple the kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never used double spaces, it looks a bit strange to me and we were never taught it in school or university 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who received diplomas just for showing up. They are the ones responsible. When enough idiots congregate bad things happen. Teachers are no longer being required to teach such important topics such as the importance of double spacing after periods. Now they just smoke crack and hand out passing grades. 10 hours ago, Darbsk said: My partner does it when she’s submitting legal documents or to universities I’ve noticed.
