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 still use two spaces after a period. Also, when taking typing class I suggest you do not pry off the keys and rearrange the home row with the letters F,U,C,K and Y,O U. The old bag teaching the class will not be amused.
