I am really, seriously horrified and overwhelmed right now. I had absolutely no idea that now it is standard and proper to only use one space after sentence periods now, instead of double-spacing. I have no idea how that knowledge completely missed me over the past twenty-some years, especially since I take so much pride in writing on the Interwebs.
I'm sorry that you've all had to look at my horrible, hideous spacing habits up until now. Single-spacing still looks really weird and wrong to me and it will take me a while to break from my ways.
And just to clarify, yes, I'm completely serious about how shocked I am. I heard about the modern spacing conventions while at a meeting at work and went BUH and everyone was like "well, duh?". Everybody being at least 10 years older than me too, and surprised that a youngin' like me wasn't taught about single-spacing at school.
Stupid single spacing. I get it, it's just that the conventions of spacing absolutely never, ever crossed my mind before. Double-space after periods. The end.
MY WORLD IS UNDONE
