How obnoxious would it be making News of the Day a daily post? Not real news mind you. I imagine, quick tiny anecdotes likes the one that follows:
Microsoft Word has a new improved spell check called Editor. This tool removes the 2nd space after a period. The actual feature is called “punctuation conventions”. I can almost see Sr. Margaret in typing class marking off for one space. At this point, double space is a habit. But I let the Editor ✍️ take over. This is freeing 😄
J-Dub
As always more to come.
Soon we will not need to use our brains !! 💜💜

It’s not terrible & you can pick which sections of Editor to use.

Every generation tends to complain about modernisation of language but the world marches on regardless. Many people now incorporate emojis into their writing; some don’t use capitals; punctuation is becoming sparser; terms such as “could of”, “should of”, have become very widely used, as has an indifference to the misuse of their/there/they’re; ellipses now contain any number of dots! What would Sr. Margaret think of such things? IDNK, but I’m sure she would not be ROFL.

LOL! Very true Peter. I make so many exceptions to what I was taught & have fun with it all …. Sr. Margaret would not be happy at all 😦

I like the name, punctuation convention, sounds more lyrical than the meaning.
