On doublespacing after punctuation, and covenant cunnilingus.
- d8uv: also, why do you put so many spaces between puncutation marks?
- jessica: Two spaces after a full stop. Haven't we been over this?
- d8uv: And question marks, apparently
- d8uv: Do you use a monospace fonted IRC client?
- jessica: No.
- jessica: But I type this way.
- jessica: It annoys the life out of crschmidt, but that's not my chief motivation for doing so � rather, it's lifelong habit.
- d8uv: It annoys the fuck out of everyone who knows things about typography
- d8uv: It's like using MS Comic Sans
- d8uv: I mean, it seems like an allright thing to do, but it only marks you as Someone Who Doesn't Know Anything
- jessica: I never claimed to know anything about typography; instead, I type the way I've typed my entire life. And I'd say it's not half as annoying as using Comic Sans. In fact, I'd be surprised if most people even noticed.
- d8uv: Did old crusty typing teachers beat it into you?
- jessica: I really don't want to think of the hygienic habits of the nuns who taught me as a child, sir.
- d8uv: I bet they shed their skin when they took off their habits
- d8uv: And inside is a spindly little dwarf, with a head that resembles a coconut, but with like a normal face on it
- jessica: Better than picturing convent cunnilingus.
- d8uv: And all it wears is a loincloth made from a bandana one of the New Kids on the Block wore in one of their videros
- jessica goes back to reading about Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9.
