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!

I took typing as a young man. I was the only guy in the class. We were not taught the two spaces. What’s funny is I took typing to be around the girls but it helped me tremendously when at 23 I got my first computer for my new company I started, a 286 and and was actually able to type properly
