The one about the dancing lessons.

I'm taking dancing lessons for the wedding dance. I have always wanted to dance, and I'm very bad at it. I think what helps me most is that I'm aware of what I don't know. Some people think they know everything there is to know about dancing, they just don't do it well. I'm pretty sure that if I can dance well during this one song, anyone in the world can do it. We'll be dancing a slow rumba, which will allow for some very cool and showy turns.

Angie blogged about the use of periods in a sentence, and how you're only supposed to use one space. Since I've become aware of this practice, I now notice who uses two spaces and who uses one. It's almost right down the line, if a manager is under 30 their writing will have only one space. If the writer is older, two spaces. If they're uneducated, two spaces. I firmly believe APA uses it as a litmus test for education. "If you've been to college in the past seven years, you'll know this." I'm offended, yet at the same time I am completely on board.

I completely agree that I got all the rhythm...but you did get all the singing ability available. All I have to say about the other is APA = EVIL

Sometimes you can teach an old dog new tricks.Sometimes the cotton pickin' "word" doesn't recognize one space after a period and thinks it knows more than we do! As for the dancing, all I have to say is give it your best Cha!Cha!Cha!
