Shame Boy posted:i have several old books and none of them do this and they all look Fine let me pull some examples from the nearest bookcase and check 1893:  1931:  note double spacing between sentences, and generally more spacing around punctuation everywhere. also interesting: punctuation consistently inside quotation marks (both books were printed in england, so i guess it’s also a myth that that’s an americanism) it’s all a myth. typewriters had nothing to do with any of this. to the contrary, I suspect word processors are responsible for single spacing – because they can’t reliably tell where a period indicates a sentence break and where it indicates an abbreviation, it’s easier to always use the same width of space. so that’s become the default.

I think we should just start adding poo poo like ß all the time, not just adding more dick emojis. gently caress your ASCII, bring back long S in english.

the closest thing I can do to tying this thing back to security is that for the brief time I was at Uber after they bought out Postmates, their systems auto-replaced all the é letters in my name by 3s, and instantly revoked all my W8-BEN forms for my stock options because the names no longer matched with what was in their systems. Then the shareworks stuff they used to transfer the accounts kept crashing when I submitted forms with the accented data for the virtual tax witholding submission. I had to call them 3 times, they never did anything, asked me to send the form by mail, which they lost twice during the pandemic. In the end I just got the money raw and will have to figure out taxes with tax people here who understand non en-us charsets.

Usually its because spoken languages came way, way before anyone bothered trying to write them down, and even earlier than there being a standard way of writing things down. I.e. the way English placenames are structured. edit: russian is weird about Is, have what three four of them? champagne posting fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Sep 1, 2021 |

the secondary language i learned in school was german, and i still can't get over the pulled-out-of-a-hat approach to gendered terms they have. is there a mythical shorthand to der/die/das that i've missed or is it all just rote memorisation?

I just noticed the error in my post and I'm pretty sure it's timb's fault. it's true but since phone posting and autocorrect caught on I've overall seen a lot less misuse of apostrophes and misspelling of "a lot" (except by people who pick "allot" from the list)

There are some rules, -heit and -keit abstract nouns and -ung gerunds are feminine, -chen and -lein diminutives are neuter, weak nouns (vague overlap with roles and professions) are masculine. Mostly ime just got to repeat it till it sounds right
