Burt Ward does it as Robin in the old Batmans. I guess it was because he didn't need to hide his secret true identity. Oh, wait, that's not what you meant... Wow, do I feel old. I always use two spaces after a period. I say, "with whom." Rob Ray sets my teeth on edge every time he omits the "-ly" when he uses an adjective instead of the proper corresponding adverb. I still write "e-mail", still try to properly use the subjunctive mood, and still use the Oxford comma. I keep a copy of Strunk and White handy when I send corporate e-mails, tweet something, post on Facebook, and respond on LinkedIn. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with publishing is inconsistency. One space or two spaces, you get to choose, but you don't get to change. Not three. Five is right out.

As I learned from Parliament, not REO Speedwagon, you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish. Of course, in trying to research who quoted whom just now, both tracks were released in 1978. I'm not doing further research. Parliament always wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
