Michael Wesch and his students are planning a new video. Unlike his acclaimed video Visions of Students Today, this video will be from the perspective of the student. Wesch has a call up on Youtube asking for video submissions that he and his students will be able to remix. Looking forward to seeing what he develops. More importantly I am looking forward to seeing our students perspective on learning.
Two spaces after a period: Why you should never, ever do it. – By Farhad Manjoo – Slate Magazine via kwout
It looks like this isn’t just one my pet peeves. Farhad Manjoo of Slate Magazine offers irrefutable proof why you should NEVER EVER use two spaces after a period.
If you don’t have time to read the full article the only reason two spaces became popular is because of mechanical typewriters which weren’t able to deal with uniform spacing. Since the age of the electronic typewriter in the early 70’s there has been no need to add two spaces.
The biggest reason why there are teachers still teach two spaces–because that is what they learned.
Considering our recent cold weather and the large amounts of snow we are getting in the Canada and the Northern US this is a very appropriate cartoon by Randy Bish. Thanks goes out to Dennis for passing on this gem.
