RE: Oxford Comma and Spaces

This link is great for the debate about two spaces after a period (hint: it's not a debate).

Hint: I don't care.

that's not a hint

It's a hint into my thought process.

Apparently you care enough to post.

12/12/14 3:49pm

No, meaning I don't care what Slate thinks, I'm going to continue with 2 spaces.

benny1982

Oh that's what you meant. Sorry for the confusion.

12/12/14 5:58pm

And my answer is still "I don't care." I do what I prefer.

Fair enough. That attitude reminds me of a certain fringe LDS group.

12/12/14 6:26pm

If my salvation were on the line, I'd probably reevaluate.

All this time I've been doing it wrong. Who knew?

I'm guilty of the two spaces

^^^This. At some point, the typesetter freaks are just going to have to adapt

Hambone

12/12/14 3:33pm

Besides, the reasoning for only doing one is that you don't need two to

benny1982

If you do stuff on the web, it doesn't matter.

El Jefe

12/12/14 3:45pm

I know, that's why I don't have much impetus to change

How about escaping

See. I told you it would only be for a minute.

RebelScum

12/12/14 4:49pm

I thought it would be tough, but it was fairly easy. Only two days for me

12/12/14 3:49pm

I do one but if everyone's thinks it's two then that's what people should do

Based on that logic, everybody should leave the Church

12/12/14 3:51pm

So, according to the article, almost everybody uses two spaces.

El Jefe

12/12/14 3:42pm

I sometimes use two spaces because it increases readability.

YSMACK

12/12/14 3:55pm

For the sake of the Children it should be two spaces. Think of the children!!!

Anyone who identified themselves as a two-spacer,

I guarantee that I'm younger than you.

benny1982

And by guarantee, I mean "think maybe probably."

Depends if 1982 is your HS graduation or your birthdate.
