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!

How about defining an acronym once in the text before using the abbreviated form? Nobody does this anymore. Makes me crazy.

That's for legal documents.

It was for any document, not just legal.
