I learned to type on typewriters in the late 70s. I was thrown in a typing class in high-school and I thought to myself "this is a useless class, I'm NEVER going to ever need this". Turns out it was one of the best things I learned in high-school.
Anyway, I never used double spaces after periods. My typing teacher would always give me grief for it, but for whatever reason, I just never did it. As you can see, I still don't.

- antonvs 3y agoThe period at the end of this sentence is followed by six spaces. I bet we won't be able to see them.
- nickpeterson 3y agoI see them and they’re glorious.

Interesting, given that I specifically sought out typing class in high school in the late '70s because I was confident that there was going to be a lot of keyboard usage in my future, might as well learn to use it. And I don't want to hear whinging about subtle mechanical keyboard differences. When you learn at an under-funded rural school with manual typewriters, you also learn to appreciate anything that isn't making your fingers do mechanical printing. :-)
