Says who? I've seen "boomer"everywhere but it's the first time I've heard about that one.
- mikhmha 1y agoRight? I've never associated "double-spacer" with boomer. Maybe anally retentive? Someone who is trying too hard? The only thing I associate with boomers is ALL-CAPS writing. Which I assume is a holdover from typewriter days. But I kind of like ALL CAPS. It conveys some level of importance to the message.
- viraptor 1y agoIt's not about trying, but people who learned double spacing when it made sense (monospace environments) and never unlearned when it didn't matter anymore (variable width typesetting). It's very age specific and a bit culture specific.
