Same as uk, many UK citizens would probably fail the UK tests.
US citizens, too
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.
You're, work out?, practise, every day?
I have never seen someone use that spelling of practice in the USA.
I moght be wrong but is not practice a noun and practise a verb?
Not in the US.
Well then I am wrong.
Maybe the two spaces after the period?
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 think they're referring to two spaces (as in spacebar) after the periods.
So am I!
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
