Fail to put two spaces after a period, question mark, or exclamation point? Seriously, ever since using the computer in middle school, we've always been taught that this is the correct and professional format, and I've stuck with it the rest of my life. I mean, I don't usually care about this stuff, but what bothers me is people are such grammar Nazis to the point they'll put quotation marks around and italicize titles, writing their posts like some kind of biography or novel, yet even the people who try the hardest don't seem to remember to put two spaces?
It doesn't really bug me, I don't care how other people wanna type, but I just think it's weird how I'm basically the only person who does it.

I'm a slight perfectionist when I type, but I don't make a big deal about it. I tend to make sure everything is correct grammar-wise, but as far as spelling for certain words I don't care. I type mostly phonetically the way I speak than anything else.

that means no freedom of words and it was a joke
Or maybe they just don't give a good gosh darn what they type because they don't have an Internet life. They only use the Internet for MySpacing and/or JewToobin'.
Either way, this only applies to people who are trying to type as perfectly as possible. I don't expect people to type perfectly, but I'd think people who did try would make more of an attempt.

It takes less time to type something correctly than to type something like that, which actually has extra letters and requires more effort.
And, you don't look like a tool when you do it.
From now on, though, TWO spaces between all of my sentences. Yes, sir.

There's nothing wrong with it, I just don't get why people who try to never... argh, forget it. I give up.

I think the point is, typing nicely is good. Being a douche about it is not.

I've never heard of this grammatical rule.

Well Mezase you type and spell a hell of allot better than me so I think your doing pretty good. I do hate when people nit pick my spelling and grammer. I mean people can tell what I'm trying to say.
