At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a "two spaces" habit.

It's a clear tell.

Saw this meme and thought I'd point that out.

Imagine publically outing yourself as an agist POS with impulse control issues and an inability to rank issues worth talking about in any kind of sane manner.

Never heard of this nonsense in my life and I'm a office worker who's over 40. What God foresaken American sub-cultural trashpile did this come from that these idiot kids from adjacent refuse heaps could start assuming everyone over 40 does?

Why not just increase the size of a single space? Having two spaces is just extra work for no reason.
