I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

There's a noticeable generation gap between people who use 1!1!1! and the ones who would say sO MuCh tHiS! I'm not sure when it happened but I'm gonna guess you are about 35?

And another generation gap between people who use a double space after a period and those who just use a single space.

You can always tell when someone was trained to type on a typewriter when that happens.

I used double spaces until a friend of my aggressively dissuaded me from doing it recently. I wasn't trained on a typewriter but I learned it from people who were, so there you go.
