Re: Dead College Thread
yeah 100% - I was totally unaware of the Common App until ~5 years ago when my oldest started applying and now we've had both kids go through it.

I'll probably never stop with 2 spaces after a sentence - not out of any middle-aged stubbornness but it's just so engrained - it's automatic. Like right there I had to force myself into the one space.

no anthems or other bullshit. it's real nice. One thing I like about watching English soccer is that if the game is scheduled to start at 5:00, it starts at 5:00.
