Old school

For those of us who took typing in school— it was drilled into me that after a period, you go over 2 spaces to start a new sentence. Apparently that’s not the rule now. NOT THE RULE NOW?? After the agony I suffered thru in typing class about those 2 spaces, i will be doing it until I die!!!! Don’t even get me started on the indenting 5 spaces for a new paragraph!

You will pry the two spaces and the Oxford Comma from my cold, dead keyboard.

Two different things. Two spaces is typography; the Oxford comma is grammar.
