[Cialug] Nakamoto: Double Spacer

[kristau]

Old dogs can learn new tricks, but the ones that don't get culled from the
herd. . .

I, too, was drilled in high school to hit that space bar twice after every
dot. I've adapted to the new norm because it simply, doesn't, effin' matter!

Oh, and I've also adopted the Serial (aka Oxford, aka Harvard) Comma
(although it seems to require more conscience effort than the space-thingy
for some strange reason).
