Just checking to see if things are still working in the ol spacing department............

Twas the week after Christmas in the Steel Soldier house,

my keyboard was broken and so was my mouse

My stockings still stunk, the smell hung in the air

but my deuce still runs without maintenance or care

The kids moved away or snuck out of their beds

kids these days, they just don't use their heads

Mama was loaded so I'm out of luck

I head to the door and jump in my truck

When I hit the switch there was such a clatter

that I surfed steel soldiers to see what was the matter

Under the hood I jumped like a flash

then another post said check under the dash

I was so confused, my truck might be dead

so I'll tie up some bandwidth and start a new thread

Oh hear yee oh hear yee the title would say

my truck's making noise and it won't go away

I drove it last night, the thread it began

I just pushed a knob and then it just ran

I hit the highway without any fear

94 mile an hour in only fourth gear

I don't understand what could be wrong today

I only hit eight moose and a big ol' red sleigh

The replies they did flow and the answer was clear

You hit Santa dude and his eight reindeer

With all but a hush the forum went still

If Santa don't bring us presents I wonder who will

With a capital letter and a proper indent

A Steel Soldier bowed in and a new post was sent

I know all seems lost with no Santa next year

but all it would take is a few of us here

We'll use a DUK as a sleigh and the fatest guy drives

We'll replace the all the deer with M35's

Just think of the kids oh they'll get such a laugh

and to think it all started

with a clear paragraph

2002 Windows XP. They are supposed to be upgrading us soon. However, we shop teachers have been told our classes are too dirty for a new computer.

Not only is spacing important between paragraphs, it is essential within sentences in the paragraphs...here's an example:

Space is important

A secretary got an expensive Mont Blanc fountain pen as a birthday gift from her boss. She sent him a 'Thank you note' by email. The Boss's wife read the email (as they shared a common email account at home) and filed for divorce in court.

The email read: Your penis wonderful. I enjoyed using it last night. It has extraordinary smooth flow, and a firm stroke. I loved its perfect size and grip. Felt like I was in heaven when using it. I've always desired for it and you fulfilled my wish. At last it is mine and mine forever.

Thanks a lot"

Moral of story: Spacing is an essential part of the English language!

Top left most button above the reply window where you type. It's a small black A with a / after it followed by a underlined A in blue.

Basically:

A/A
