Double Space Madness & The Iceman List | SYSK Internet Roundup

[@rcreative1]

Coincidentally, I had a Facebook fight on double spaces yesterday when I expressed my surprise at the people under 40 I encounter who still double space even though they have never used a typewriter. It got a bit heated.

I use to use 1 space, in college I was forced to use 2. Now I mix it up to mess with people. They're like what the eff.

Very awesome too watch. A light and insightful program. Good journalism and a weird news / things that make you mmmm round up all in one. Can't be bad, can't be bad.

My sister, who grew up in China in the early 80s, learned to type on a typewriter. She was editing my essay and I noticed she went and added 2 spaces after every one of my periods to "correct it." She was taught 2 spaces and I was taught 1. Random fact about punctuation: I think British english puts a period outside of quotations while we Americans nestle the period inside quotes. "the Brits". "Mericah."

[@QapNPoo]

Nope. Period inside when quote contains a full stop and when quotation marks indicate emphasized words or phrases which are just a portion of the body of written work. Also, random fact; don't preface something of which you aren't certain as to it's veracity with a term indicating facts. It is like saying "random fact; i think aliens exist.". Finally, it is spelled America. Have a nice day!

Dam straight. I've been listening to podcasts for four years as a truck driver. Mostly daily. SYSK is still the only podcasts I've ever listened to!

I learned to use 2 spaces in high school in the 90s

[@roberttressler7080]

They said they don't read these comments.....wtf way to treat ppl that watch your show

[@TheBRad704]

I have to type this first sentence to even remember how many spaces I naturally use. Oh, it's 2.

[@babujai1]

Brad Taylor Me too! I learned how to type out of my dad's old high school typing manual. It definitely said 2 spaces.

[@catherinerosa-baker2937]

We were taught two spaces after a period

[@WashashoreProd]

Dammit. Just go right ahead and make the Vampire Weekend reference redundant. For what it's worth, I am generally under the impression that it's one space on a computer and two on a typewriter. Also, prescriptivists are shitheads. OED and Merriam-Webster are the two definitive English dictionaries, and they're both radically descriptivist. A particular word or construction may be incorrect *for a formal register*, but that's about it.

I was really hoping from the title of this one that it was going to be about insane astronauts. Like, double as insane as a typical astronaut. Gotta say, a little disappointed. Bring back the animation.
