Date: December 22nd, 2024 5:34 AM Author: ,.,,...,,,,,........,,,,,,,,,,,,, to me, it's more aesthetically pleasing. you can lay out your thoughts in a way that corresponds better with how you speak. I'm a millennial but I do it because my parents mentioned it when I was a kid and I thought it looked better. plus, it's reminiscent of the typewriter days – retro!
I also always capitalized "internet" and continued to do so for at least a year after the standard changed. |

Date: December 22nd, 2024 6:42 AM Author: Drunkard I do two spaces after a period in texts even. I can’t understand why anyone does not follow this convention. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5652823&forum_id=2#48474703) |

Date: December 22nd, 2024 7:43 AM Author: Smoker Because it makes it more difficult to read. It’s a little more defensible in briefs or legal writing because citations already breakup reading flow and it may help filter out that noise, but makes no sense at all in normal writing, and arguably makes contract drafting shittier because two spaces after headings become less noticeable. Most firms seem to have gone away it from it in drafting but still see it with lit work (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5652823&forum_id=2#48474764) |

Date: December 22nd, 2024 9:10 AM Author: butt cheeks (✅🍑) I double space and I once dealt with an associate (female of course) at another firm who went through a whole 30-something page draft (*MY* draft, not hers) and painstakingly changed every single double space to a single space, all redlined. Of course I went back and rejected every single one of her changes and restored all my double spaces. This was maybe 10 years ago yet it still rustles my jimmies that she did that. |

|
Date: December 22nd, 2024 7:55 AM Author: Ass Sunstein Two spaces makes sense because you can have periods in other places that aren't the ends of sentences (like in abbreviations). Those get one space but sentence breaks get two spaces.
One space between words. Two spaces between sentences. A line break between paragraphs. A page break between chapters/sections. Just makes logical sense. |
