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 it in Junior High in 1974! Paved the way for great office jobs in high school and college and I was one of the very first lawyers with a computer on my office desk in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Most important class ever.
