User blog comment:InvaderrrZIM/Double Space after Period?/@comment-5588400-20121126233506

My computer teacher told me that back in the day, it used to be double spaced when using typewriters. Did someone who used to use typewriters give you tips on how to type? The reason why double spacing was used was to make the distinction between two sentences (apparently the font made it hard).

As for the question mark, I'm not sure. Maybe for the same reason a double space on an iPod/iPhone makes a period.
