Double space after a period was the standard when typewriters were the norm. Now that kerning and font choice are super easy, single space has (mostly) become the norm. Specific style guides may call for double space, but that's been disappearing this last five to ten years.

Fuck them.  They can't break me.

I still use two commas in a list of three.  I like it, it works, and it helps with clarity.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

It's a shame you felt your sentence needed the help.

I went to some random page to read the story I googled, on a very reputable site, and on the bottom, in the clickbait bank, out of 8 ads, four were about someone's net worth.  One will shock me, two will blow me away, and one will drop my jaw.   :hmm:  This Internet thing is getting a bit polluted, I think.

It's very shocking indeed how quickly MC Hammer went through his funds.

That was well done, witty, and amusing.

Why is that racist? Because the black girl is frowning?  :huh:

Probably because tall white girl is parking her privilege on top of her head.

I like one space before a question mark, because it looks better and I make my own rules, OK ?

How French of you.  :frog:

I'll take that as a compliment.  :bowler:

I find it very annoying. I constantly have to fix what my French employees have written so my Danish clients don't call out the abuse of punctuation. -_-

Wtf. I didn't get to vote on it.  :huh:

Also, from what I heard the Dutch are going to reject it. But I guess they are used to suck Putin's cock. Like the last time when he shot down a plane full of their fellow Dutch - they barely let out a peep.

Liep
