Megan McArdle – You Can Have My Double Space When You Pry it From My Cold, Dead Hands – The Atlantic.
Let me just add: if you’re spending time worrying over whether my emails contain one or two spaces, you need to ask them to let you out of the asylum more often so you can pursue a more interesting hobby. I double space after sentences because I learned to type on a manual typewriter, and it’s not worth the effort to retrain myself. Even if typographers groan every time they open one of my missives.
Touche!
