  I don’t get it, what double spacing?

    The double spaces between sentences. Tbh, it is kinda nice for readability.

      If you were taught on a typewriter, you double space for life. It’s impossible to stop once ingrained.

        I was taught by people who were taught on typewriters, and it’s still ingrained.

      OK that doesn’t show here (Firefox on Linux), I actually copied the text into an editor, and searched for double spaces, and none were found.

        Browsers collapse whitespace unless told not to by the webpage CSS. I’m not using a browser though, I’m using Boost for Lemmy.

      I really wish it would come back in style. I hate the single space after a full stop, it feels inadequate.

      Huh, I thought Markdown basically just ignored all extra whitespace

        HTML in browsers ignores the whitespace, I think, not markdown specifically.

  I just do it automatically. Thanks to my typing class in junior high in the 90’s. I’m guessing most people on the internet don’t do it? It’s never even crossed my mind that it might be unusual these days.

    Definitely not 😁 But that’s cool, you stand out from the crowd. For us who use an app to browse Lemmy, at least.
