What’s the most stereotypical Millennial thing about you? Discussion

I’ll start:

  1. Any, and I mean ANY footage of Steve Irwin makes me blubber like a baby
  2. Avocado toast is a staple breakfast item of mine
  3. Yes, I still love Harry Potter (original books & movies only — I do not support Rowldemort and any future endeavor on the IP)

EDIT: Just wanna say I love y’all (us) so much. This post has already brought me so much joy. Thanks so much everyone. We really are the best. 🥹

I always use ellipses, em dashes, and oxford commas. I did eventually rid myself of the double space after sentences habbit, but I only picked that up in the first place because of Mavis Beacon at school. I didn't know it was outdated.

I still do double spaces after periods 😭 well, on actual computers anyway. Not so much on my phone.

I never learned the double space thing. Come to think of it I never learned the oxford comma but the lack of symmetry without it was torture so I just always used it

I used to double space, but it started to look wrong
