Thank you! Neither side is better than the other, so let's not have an ego-driven schism here.

Here's a double-spacing story. For most of high school, I didn't understand that "double-spaced" meant having the computer spacing in such a way that there's a space between every line, leaving the teacher free to write comments, the writer to add to a draft, etc. (If anyone knows a better way to explain what I'm talking about, please do) I thought it was literally putting two spaces between every word because no one told me otherwise. I found out one afternoon in computer lab when two of my classmates came over to see how I was doing on my work. They noticed the spacing and asked why I had put two spaces between every word. I asked, "Isn't that what 'double-spacing" means?" After they finished laughing, they explained and helped me with my work. The three of us were pretty friendly, so it wasn't bad.
