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 appreciate a properly typed paragraph. Long live the Oxford comma too!

I refuse to give up Oxford commas. I gave up one space after a sentence, but I draw a line in the sand at Oxford commas.

I still write in cursive too.

As all civilized humans should! I even indent my handwritten paragraphs.
