Secondly, I'm now tweeting. Yes, my friends, I've joined the legions of Twitter. My tweets are protected, but please, please request to follow me and I will do likewise. I'm new to the medium but cannot wait to figure out this particular/peculiar new (to me) social network. You can find me here.
And, though I mentioned this on twitter, the following habit is going to be a tough one to break. Slate Magazine (via Kristy) has informed me that there is only to be one space after a period. My world is quite shattered with this information. To spend these 29 plus years thinking I was so absolutely correct only to discover I am wrong. What else shall I learn about surety?

The one space thing after a period thing was a real drag for me also. I had a really hard time breaking the habit!
I will add you on twitter soon. I log in about once a month or less often. I'm not a good twit.
...You were right once upon a time cause that's how I learned it in school. I will still put two spaces though, because like to think I am a rebel.
I stopped using two periods years ago. Was I forward thinking or just wrong?
Both of those blogs have a brand new follower...named ME! Well, named Lindsay Kay (technically speaking). I love your blog, too, Rookie. Just thought you should know. And I heard about that double space thing when I started graphic design. I should've shared earlier...sorry.
In one of my early tech writing class, my teacher was the mayor of one space after a period. She would probably give a student an F for one mistake in this regard. Therefore, I hopped on that train post haste. Now I prefer the look of one little space. Two seems too much.

P.S. It's also one space after a colon nowadays!
