but how many spaces after the periods? -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 14, 10:08 7
- I quit two-spacing years ago. I guess it's because I'm in digital media at work. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 14, 10:13
- I am a proud two-spacer -- nm - zork Jan 14, 10:09 5
  - me too. it's automatic. Double spacing, I can't quit you! -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:10 4
    - Me, too. The number of places where it actually matters make me retain it. - TWuG Jan 14, 10:21
    - *nods* They'll take me dual-spaces from my cold dead non-texting hands. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:16
    - I'm trying to quit so that I can keep lying about my age. But it's so leftover from typing class! -- nm - Amy Jan 14, 10:12 1
      - not just that but I think it makes stuff easier to read. -- nm - zork, B.S.I. Jan 14, 10:13
I do this all the time in long emails. my parenthesizing gets *way* out of hand, so I have to footnote. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 14, 10:08

tell him that all footnotes going forward must have unique numbers from previous emails -- nm - zork Jan 14, 10:07
Oh yeah. (nm) - Rex Ryan Jan 14, 10:01
i like it. she's bringing it back. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:00 2
- oddly I just assumed a footnoted email came from a woman. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 10:05 1
  - I did get flowery stationary-swirly font mail from a woman earlier today. -- nm - Amy Jan 14, 10:07

- pssst. - TFox Jan 14, 10:17 7
  - spoils (real Hunger Games spoilers - if you haven't read it, don't click) - Kim Pine Jan 14, 10:22 6
    - I was just e-mailing my brother about this (serious spoils, do not click, future Hunger Games readers) - TFox Jan 14, 10:28 4
      - I can't wait for other people to read it, seriously. I think we'll have actual, like, real discussions and stuff. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 14, 10:30 3
        
        I'm floored that multiple people told me that Mockingjay was their least favorite of the three. - TFox Jan 14, 10:52 1
        
        I don't either! (spoils) - Kim Pine Jan 14, 11:00

    - (and I mean the whole series, not just the first book) -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 14, 10:23
well ... was the footnote interesting? Or was it just interesting that the coworker put a footnote on it at all? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:00 8
- It was from a dude who is notorious for using multilple fonts/sizes and bulleted lists in his mails. The footnotes are new. * - Amy Jan 14, 10:03 7
  - Oh, we have a dude who does that. Also, multiple colors for emphasis. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 14, 10:07 5
    - my friend mike honestly suggested that I use several different colored fonts *on my resume.* you know. to make it stand out. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 14, 10:17 3
      - Silly. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 10:29
      - ack. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 14, 10:24
      - some years ago I did my name in a different colour and the rest in black for a while -- nm - zork, B.S.I. Jan 14, 10:22
    - tell him you're colourblind -- nm - zork Jan 14, 10:10
  - he probably just realised that he can do superscripts. tomorrow he'll find a reason to include a subscript. -- nm - zork Jan 14, 10:05
