“Definitely” is not a hard word to spell, yet some people still repeatedly spell it incorrectly (Sophie, I’m looking at you :P). There are a multitude of ways that people spell it incorrectly, but if one is really struggling to remember how to spell “definitely,” d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com is one place to bookmark for future reference!

I learned how to type on a computer keyboard when I was in third grade in computer class, which was mandatory at my school. By the time I was in fifth grade, I knew how to touch-type and was the fastest typer in my class, clocking in over 100WPM. What can I say? One of the boys in my class asserted that he could type faster than me because he was a boy and I was determined to prove him wrong. (And I did; I beat him in the last touch-typing test of the year.)
I was taught to enter two spaces between sentences when typing. It’s how I’ve always typed my sentences, and it feels too strange for me to type only one space between sentences rather than two, but I know not everyone does this. Most everyone I’ve asked uses only one space. Still, I’m curious to see how common, exactly, it is for two spaces to be used rather than one. Surely it can’t be such an odd thing?
Question of the Week: Do you enter two spaces between your sentences or only one when typing on a computer keyboard?

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Summary: Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) begins his sixth year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his dark past, as well as deal with the trials and tribulations of blossoming romances among his classmates
5 Words/Phrases: Reasonably good adaption of book to movie; a few scenes were not wholly necessary; great special effects; the “trio” all have matured and improved their acting; the pace of the movie was quick but didn’t feel rushed
Most Impressed By: The set of Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes; the amount of comedy throughout the movie; the depth of character Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) and Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright) had; Evanna Lynch’s perfect performance as Luna Lovegood; the mesmerizing lunacy of Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter); the return of Quidditch; the believable love triangles/entanglements; Emma Watson’s improved acting as Hermione Granger1
Least Impressed By: Michael Gambon’s portrayal of Dumbledore; the lack of Merope Gaunt (I would have liked to have seen her, even if only for a few minutes); the character of Lavender Brown (Jessie Cave) and her simpering idiocy; the lack of screentime Ron was given; the lack of the more important memories in Dumbledore’s Pensieve
Overall Rating: 9/10
