At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a “two spaces” habit.

It’s a clear tell.

Saw this meme and thought I’d point that out.

    Not 40, but I still do it. When learning to type on a computer in school it was a requirement. I don’t mind though because now when I do it, periods are automatically added for me in place of the first space.

      Bingo. 44 yr old here. I blame Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing back in the early 90s. I still sometimes do the double space at work when I’m on a typewriter keyboard.
