    Shit. Now I can’t recall if I double space or not. I’m sure I double spaced back when I studied things just for page length.

    How long has this been going on?

    Lol, it took me a minute to realize I am currently providing myself with the data I wanted. And it looks like my (semi)professional emails are about 50/50, depending if I’m responding.

    Is it commonplace to single space after a full stop these days? Thanks!!

    Also: that grandpa and his collection are awesome! It’s inspiring - not that I’d travel my country (U.S.) to the same extent. Perhaps my state, but there isn’t a huge amount of variation, nor do I have the desire to visit some of the areas.

      The double space is a relic from typewriters. It is not appropriate to double space anymore and honestly hasn’t been since I learned to type in the early oughts

      I do the double when typing with keyboard but cant be arsed to hit space three times on mobile. I simply prefer the style of the double-space though.
