You knock cats around?!It's also in Huckleberry Finn. Chapter XXXVII.Cosmic Coincidence Dept.: I was reading an old Honey West novel this afternoon and they actually used the term "galley west."
And now you know why it's my username. Fitting, no?
An outrage! I am leading a rebellion!

We may disagree on spaces after a period, but I'll hold your coat while you do the correction thing (are whips and chains involved? Please?
) regarding commas and semi-colons.
It would be impossible for me to unlearn double spacing after a period, and I'm not going to try. It's automatic, from the days of learning to touch type on a manual typewriter with actual striking keys and then an IBM Selectric in 1984. But thanks for helping to figure out why my phone sometimes does not give me capital letters. It's all that texting with my opposable thumbs.
And so now I have "Do You Hear The People Sing?" from Les Miz stuck in my head.

After having MLA drilled into me and being taught to use two spaces after each period, I enrolled in a Master's program that uses APA, which demands only one space after each period. Fine, be that way, but you can't take my two spaces away from me on the internet!
They can't take that away from you!
I hate to tell this to you, but Trekbbs does.
^^ A technicality. The spirit of the two spaces is there.
I look at the two spaces like the "double tap" from Zombieland. Just to make sure that sentence is really done, better hit the space bar twice.
