The point of it was that printers used to not have another choice. Double spacing has been dumb since printer paper stopped having perforated sides. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 12:45 3
- You're wrong, TFox. Typewriters used to have the double spacing carriage return option. 1.5 spacing also -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 12:47 1
  - weirdly, Googling "history of double spacing" isn't all that helpful. it still looks dumb as shit. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 12:53
- I believe it is required in some legal documents. Otherwise it's totally stupid. I also hate 1.5 spacing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 12:46
