This Totally made Me Think of Earp.

On another note - I remember our 6th grade teacher making us type a book report on the computer, and told us to do it double spaced.

11 year old tld221, who grew up without a computer until 9th grade (and didnt take typing until... 10th?) didnt know this meant spacing between EACH LINE. My mother, who is still relatively young (i dont think SHE even learned how to type on a typewriter) told me it meant two spaces between each word.

So my report looked like this. Ms. Gill thought I was being a wiseguy and I remember getting a bad grade.

ETA: ^^^ even GC autoedits to single space, because I can see it as i'm typing, but when i hit "Reply" its all single space. Bah.

It isn't GC or Facebook - it's HTML. I don't know why, but it just does that.
