“I never thought about my double-space habit until tonight when I happened to come across this article on the subject. I asked Suzanne what she does and she remarked that she’s noticed my double-space style (she was a single-space journalism major). She hypothesized that only people old enough to remember typewriters would share my habit. I did a quick scan of my email, and sure enough — only about 20% of senders use double-spacing, and all of them are (ahem) in their mid-thirties and beyond.”
I fall into this category. As I’ve helped Connor type things on the computer, I’ve told him two spaces. I guess I need to stop that.
