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.

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

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

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

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

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!!!

I guarantee that I'm younger than you.

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

Depends if 1982 is your HS graduation or your birthdate.
