Double Spacing After Periods

[Hygro]

Seriously? How ood. They much be teaching you guys all wrong in school these days.

I'll take "wrong" then.

I don't know about you but I'm reading this on a 13" computer screen. The formatting of that post made it graphically hard to read. If it were on paper it would be different.

I just disregard everyone's font choices on here and display every post in Calibri.

"How ood" was a Doctor Who thing, btw.

How do you do that?

Custom stylesheet.

I am very tech-illiterate. I am intrigued as to what those are. I might even be willing to pay in these bitcions of yours.

 

[bhsup]

Bitcoins are so February, Tak. Dogecoins are what's in now.

 

[Takhisis]

Bitcions, my good Southerner fellow. Bitcions.

I think two spaces after a period is stupid; Its unnecessary and it breaks the flow for the reader; Though it is still preferable to the monstrosity of double spacing between lines!

22% agree with me here in CFC alone. Criminy, if we were an ethnic group or a sexual preference minority at 22%, the world would be doing back flips to accommodate us. HTML would be rewritten from scratch to support it, etc...

Then why is the letter ñ still not allowed for internet domain names?

It's it's.

You are therefore not to be trusted in matters of such moment.

I'll show myself out...

 

[Hygro]

Also, no capitalization after semicolons

I wasn't really coming down on you.

I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to construct that sentence: It's it's.

There's just something very pleasing about two of the same thing right next to each other, don't you think?

 

[Takhisis]

Erm, a colon, then capitals… must check…

 

[Gori the Grey]

Not ordinarily, no. But a colon has the force of the word "namely," "to wit," or "that is to say." In this case, the that that I had to say was a sentence I'd previously written, so I gave that sentence in the same form as in its previous incarnation, including the capital. Do tell me the results of your check, but even if you turn up no precept or precedent justifying my usage, I will still regard myself as warranted in it. The fullest mastery of rules involves knowing when and how to break them as well.

 

[Takhisis]

Off the top of my head, I think you should place it between commas if that is the case.

 

[Cheetah]

Alright, my self-imposed exile is over. Let's see how long I can do this without embarrassing myself again.

There is. However, what do you make of this sentence:

In this case, the that that I had to say was a sentence I'd previously written, [...]

One might be tempted to say that you yourself slipped a bit there.

Also, no capitalization after semicolons

Erm, a colon, then capitals… must check…

Yes, there is!

Both semicolons and colons shall be followed by a capitalised word as what actually follows is a whole new sentence!

But people of an ethnic group or sexual preference minority aren't defined by being wrong.
