      We took the US citizenship test in the first session of my first political science class back in college. Myself and a couple of others were the only ones to pass.

        Here (Denmark) the test is based on a book used to prepare for the test. I’ve always been able to pass when I tried, without having read the book.

      Your wrong. I workout and practice language everyday.

      How many mistakes are there in those 2 sentences?

      At least 3!

          I have never seen someone use that spelling of practice in the USA.

            IDK what platform you are using, but the 2 spaces at the end of a line, are to make new line work in standard Internet browsers.

              Nothing to do with the browser, FYI, just the markdown interpreter - regardless of whether your client is a web app or otherwise.

              As you say, two spaces before a carriage return indicates a line break in most flavors of markdown. Two carriage returns indicates a paragraph break.

              I see two spaces rendered on Jerboa, but only one space rendered on the Lemmy web app. I mean specifically after “wrong.”

              Weird.

            I use two spaces because I’ve been typing for a long time, lol

            Good eye! I still do it because, to my eyes, it makes it easier to indicate sentence boundaries while skimming the text.

            Some people say this is “wrong”, and I won’t enforce it on anyone, but I do it when I’m writing my own text. Not only do I like how it looks, but it’s a habit I’ve had for close to 30 years. It’s not worth fighting that level of muscle memory, especially when we have Find/Replace All! Haha
