I'm no longer voting Biden. Not even voting Sanders or Clinton. None support the REAL ISSUE....




Until these candidates get on board and SUPPORT TWO SPACES after periods then I'm sticking with the real candidates who support this important issue:

But DU doesn't support multiple spaces after periods. See. Can't do it with normal typing. Not happening.

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!!!

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.

Plus, we advent the use of the semi-colon; instead of insisting on short, awkwardly-reading sentences

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.

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.
