DID YOU KNOW THIS?!?!?!

I feel a little betrayed. i feel like my whole educational career has been a lie. i have always prided myself on haveing better grammar than your average person, and finding this out threw me for a loop. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2011/01/space_invaders.html


allow me to nerd out.... did you know that it is unacceptable to do a double space after periods? if you did, then WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? i feel like maybe someone early on in life told me that was the correct way to do it as a joke, and then i continued to do it and probably gave all my high school teachers and college professors a good laugh. "look at this girl, she still thinks that you are supposed to double space after periods, what a FOOL, mwahahahahaha (evil laughter)." I am sure that is what happend. they just kept getting a laugh out of it and didn't tell me.

i don't think you guys understand how devastating this really is to me. not just because i feel lied too and emberassed, but also because for the last 17 years i have been using extra energy after every sentence to put that extra space in when i didn't need to. that is energy that could have compiled to go towards something even greater! like playing a musical instrament, or running faster! i feel a little cheated. thanks for nothing!
