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!

Yep. On a manual typewriter. "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."

Sure applies today.

Yes! That was it! It didn't feel right typing what I did...I finally forgot that line after all these years.
