Thanks for the clue...I still double space at the end of a sentence.
Gotta be careful to use the Oxford comma when needed for clarity.
Post-school changes stink
Re-learning is HARD, once one is over 20 or so.
It's definitely sometimes necessary.
I just read this great essay on a writing challenge to write 1000 words a day--I'm going to give it a shot--I'll have to get up at 4am to do it but NOTHING sets the tone for a great day than to start it by writing!

How about upside down?
I too am a WRITER! It's just that I'm not yet published!
Seriously, we're not supposed to? I never knew that. But I don't write for pleasure, haven't in years.

I noticed at work that people still double space at the end of a sentence.
For years I did that and then switched to just one space. It is hardly noticeable, actually.
At one time we had to achieve so many lines per day i.e. 800 lines was the minimum standard but now they have changed it so we must achieve a minimum of 85 minutes of transcriptions.
So on the old system we wanted the fast talkers, as you could get more lines. Now we want the slow talkers so we can get more minutes with not as much typing.
They keep talking about bringing in a voice recognition system but if they take at least three more years to achieve that, I will hopefully be a retiree by then!
