I used to use it all the time but nobody else seems to, so I stopped. Kind of like double spacing after a sentence.
You must carry the touch. Use the Oxford comma, double space, and add niggardly to your every day language.
Niggard- a stingy person
Double spacing came from the days of fixed-width fonts in typewriters. I learned to type on IBM Selectrics, but for some reason never developed the double-space habit.
How about tabbing a new paragraph?
I was weird and hated that, too. Even before using computers for typing.
We are old. I loved my Selectric 2 so much.
I used to think changing fonts by popping up the top of the "golf ball" and putting on a new one was amazing. LOL.
