(95,337 posts)They never asked us if they could steal our second space. We want it back. Our voices will be heard. The penguin has spoken. The cat has said TBHTT. It's time we DUers make our voices heard!!!

(46,757 posts)Laughed at and ridiculed. They said I should practice minimalist writing and that maybe I would read better if I slimmed down a bit on the wide spaces.
I was hurt.

(53,410 posts)I'd have to rebuild every synaptic connection if I had to re-train my fingers to type on one space!
Laffy Kat
(16,386 posts)I am not even CAPABLE of typing one space. It appalls me, actually. (Plus, we used to get paid for lines or characters in the old days; spaces = $.) You will have to pry that second space from my cold, dead fingers...um....well, whatever.

(17,216 posts)I've seen more outcry and back-and-forth on social media over this question than over plenty that would seem more important. The nice thing about this controversy, I suppose, is that people figure they can express their opinions without fear. Of course, they're wrong about that.
