The letter from a mother was so touching. Glad you shared that. As for the double spacing I am shocked. That is second nature for me. Sometime even when it the period of the last sentence, I still double space after it. LOL

I will never, ever, EVER be able to not double click the space bar after a period. Period.

The one space thing is a tough one for me too and I was shocked when I learned about it- almost as shocked as when I discovered the rules changed for when you use “an” or “a”. It turns out that it depends on how the word sounds, rather than what it actually starts with. I was always taught that you use it before words that start with vowels and sometimes with an h (a h?). At 35 years old, it seems like things shouldn’t have changed that much since I was in school!

I just wanted to point out that in APA style…for research you have to put 2 spaces after the period! Interesting….apparently they are behind the times of modern day typing :) Thanks for the great articles! and can’t wait to see the backsplash!
