Changing old habits

[sparr]

At age 13 I changed the way I write the number 7.
At 17 I changed the way I tie my shoes.
At 19 I changed my signature.
At 22 I changed my laugh.
Today I am changing from two spaces between sentences (after the period) to one. It should only take a few months this time. Wish me luck.

Changing old habits

The only reason there ever was two spaces was because typewriters have monospaced letters. No one who works in typesetting ever uses two spaces ever--with the exeption of colons, some people like the extra space, but we don't do it where I work. With digital typesetting, two spaces are even less necessary.
