My world has been turned upside down. It was drilled into my head in middle school English that one always puts two spaces after punctuation and that one never ends a sentence with a preposition. Now…both are acceptable. Next you’ll be telling me that Pluto isn’t a planet! So now, I have a LOT of extraneous spaces to delete from my manuscripts. I was told to try Libre Office’s find and replace feature to quickly fix that, but it didn’t get them all. So I have to do it by hand. Oy vey.
But at least now “Where y’all from?” is proper English, right?
