Gen-X here. I was always a big fan of two spaces - because that is the way I was taught.

One day, a millennial woman in the office commented an email was from an old person. I asked how she knew. She said two spaces after a period.

That point forward I was a one space person.

You'll have to pry that second space from my cold, dead muscle memory.

[jacobsenscott]

It's already been done. Almost all email content read through web browsers these days, which do exactly that.

[naikrovek]

no, nor do IM clients in Electron, in my experience. not Teams, anyway. spaces are preserved.

[naikrovek]

same. I don't care if it labels me as old. I am old.

You shouldn't fold so easily. She gave you a compliment, anyway.

[mturmon]

pls also refrain from initial caps and message-terminating periods

Apparently (according to TikTok) ending a sentence with an ellipsis is also a Gen-X thing...

[nick-of-time]

GenX and older. I get the impression that you read ellipses with a very different tone than I do. Ellipses indicate trailing off your sentence, especially with suggestive connotations [1]. As you can imagine, this is uncomfortable to read just as it is to listen to.
