I still find people who do this

At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a "two spaces" habit.
It's a clear tell.
Saw this meme and thought I'd point that out.
Yeah, I think this is more of an "over 50" thing. Someone who's 40 today would have been born in 1984. That would have had them graduating high school in ~2002 - well into the computer age and not ever having to do anything on a typewriter.
I'm 38 and I do it despite knowing it annoys people. It's just how I learned to type. Idgaf
The MLA guidelines didn't change until 2019.
I’m 35 and I learned two spaces in school growing up :shrug:
Then later I learned it had changed so I stopped doing it. :double shrug:
31 here. I learned double first, and at some point it switched to single. I don't remember when.
I'm mid 40s and was taught the double space practice, I guess it depends on when you first learned this stuff, it was very uneven teaching back then
Someone born in 1976 is either 48 or 49 right now, which is well inside the "two spaces" era. So you've go a couple more years to clear these folks out before its an "over 50 thing".
I'm 47. Was definitely taught the two spaces thing. We still did it on word processors when they replaced typewriters.
42 here and was taught the two space method in high school typing class but eventually retaught over to one space maybe 15 years ago.
I'm in the first half of my 40s. I was taught on typewriters in middle school and have been putting two spaces when using a physical keyboard ever since.
41, and I am one of those people as well. I had no idea it's not something that should be done anymore. To celebrate, i only used 1 space in this post!
