I was shocked to find out a few days ago that there is supposed to be only one space after a period. For as long as I have been typing on a computer I have always done two spaces. At some point it changed and left me behind. Did anyone else know this?
A few days ago I was proofreading an assignment my 6th grade son was doing on the computer and I told him he needed two spaces after the periods. He made the change. A day later, after finding out I was wrong, I told my son that he was right all along. I used the excuse that it used to be two but it is now one. He laughed and called me a boomer.
Added: In fact, I had to go back and edit all my two spaces above to a single space. I added two spaces without even thinking about it. This is going to be hard for me.
