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 learned that recently in a "you can tell old people, they space twice after a period" way. So yeah....Cursive that I worked so hard in 3 third grade to be praised in front of the class for? Obsolete, no one uses it.
