    Yes, I was trained on a typewriter. My fingers insist on the double space and my brain is no longer involved in the process. I don’t think I could change now, no matter how much I wanted to!

    To give you an idea of the timeframe, I came first place in my typing class, an achievement for which I was awarded a Brashes voucher 🤣

      So, according to Wikipedia, some time between 1860 and 1990… I’m just gonna take the midpoint and assume 1920s.

        Spot on! I will be 111 this year. So after a full century of double spacing it is definitely too hard a habbit to change now.

        Fortunately it was actually the latter end of that range. We even had newfangled electric typewriters.

          Uncle, I heard you’ve had this magic ring for a while.
