I took typing in high school, with IBM typewriters as well. For 50 minutes, we typed away, starting with fingers on the home rows. I learned to type business letters, notes, and even use proper spacing. By the way, we were taught to put 2 spaces after period. Typing class was one of my favorite, with no homework, and just 50 minutes of typing away every day.

- drudru11 6y agoAt a job I had, they gave people a book titled: Your Mac Is Not A Typewriter One of the big things was the single space rule. Interesting thing tho. Many years later I read on Steve Losh’s blog that he uses two spaces after every period. Why? So he can just do a simple search to move through sentences.
- ubermonkey 6y agoYou understand why the standard for typewriters is 2, and why that isn't correct for every other context, right?
