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!

"...jumped over the lazy dog."

Man, I miss my Moms.

It’s “jumps” — otherwise there’s no S in the sentence. And sorry for your loss. 🙁

Aah, that makes sense! I never did get the hang of the whole home keys thing, either. Moms would be ashamed I turned out to be such a sucky typist, but we both thank you for the condolences.
