Today it hailed in New Westminster. Five days ago my apartment was a scortching 30C. From Sunday to Monday there was such a huge shift. Weather freaks me out.
Here's a little interesting fact about me: I always thought that you were supposed to leave two spaces after a period. That's what I was always taught to do in elementary school. Apparently not. When I was being a grammar Nazi on one of Julien's proposals, I pointed out that he was only leaving one space. Then we got into an argument which resulted in a bet, which I lost. I hate losing bets. Anyways, since then, I've been struggling to use the "one space after period" method. Old habits die hard.
I think that's all I have to say. Oh, I spoke to my good old friend Elise today. Elise, if you're reading this, shout outs for realz! (whatever that means) xoxo!
They changed that sometime between when I took my first university English class and my most recent English class (earlier this year)! I had the same reaction. "Noooo, it's TWO spaces!"
ReplyDeleteThat's been a thing for a long time, at least in the States. I remember having teachers tell me not to put two spaces when we were in 7th grade or so and thinking to myself, "Why are they telling us that? Why would anyone put two spaces?" because we had never been taught that. I thought it must have been changed a few years before I was the age to be typing homework assignments.
