Sometimes I will break up a paragraph and create another paragraph just because it is easier reading. Sometimes these typo nerds forget that the entire purpose is to most effectively get the message across.

Hint: I don't care.

that's not a hint

It's a hint into my thought process.

Apparently you care enough to post.

TheMaineCougar

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.

TheMaineCougar

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.

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

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

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

El Jefe

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

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

TheMaineCougar

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

TheMaineCougar

12/12/14 3:51pm

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

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

12/12/14 4:18pm

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

Depends if 1982 is your HS graduation or your birthdate.
