    I asked myself what have us millennials done. I settled on this, we broke the generational cycle of abuse and bullying of our kids.

    Dont mean to ‘burst your bubble’, but as a Gen-Xer who took allot of abuse from my Boomer parents, and ended up a ‘latch key kid’ to boot, I made sure to not pass that on to my Millennial children. At all. So that trend was happening allot earlier than you think.

    Also, ‘wall of text’ is tough to read. Paragraphs are our friends. :)

      I imagine they might have been bamboozled like I have been quite a few times, where a proper formatted line break is actually 2 line breaks in the editor instead of just one?

      Just a guess haha.

          That’s the same in any editor.

          If you are at the end of a sentence, and you want to start a new paragraph, you always hit the enter key twice.

          Clicking enter while typing in a comment/post will put you on a new line in the text editor, but Markdown interprets this as a regular space.

          Having two line breaks (enter twice) in the editor tells Markdown to leave an empty line and then start in a new line.

            You would be hitting enter twice to start a new paragraph in any editor. Thats how you always start a new paragraph.
