Are You Looking at EVERYTHING?

 

During individual personal brand reviews, we look at EVERYTHING. Social media pages, we do an in-person 360 to understand how clients are truly perceived, we look at goals, missteps, mistakes, ensure values are written and being used as a filter, image and SO MUCH MORE.

As the value in ‘innovative’ keeps popping up more and more…we thought this post would be a fun reminder to share this tip! Using two spaces is almost as outdated as having a Hotmail account. Just. Don’t. Do. It.

From the article https://www.instructionalsolutions.com/blog/one-space-vs-two-after-period : If you learned to type on a typewriter before word processors became the norm, two spaces after a period were required and taught as correct. The extra space was needed to delineate the beginning of a new sentence because the spacing between words was uneven on a typewriter.

As of April 24, 2020, Microsoft has settled the great space debate, and sided with everyone who believes one space after a period is correct, not two. The software giant has started to update Microsoft Word to highlight two spaces after a period as an error, and to offer a correction to one space. Microsoft recently started testing this change with the desktop version of Word, offering suggestions through the Editor capabilities of the app.

Additionally, the American Psychological Association’s Publication Manual, after decades of recommending two spaces changed their recommendation to one space in its most recent update in October, 2019.

Period. ONE SPACE. New sentence!
