At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a "two spaces" habit.

It's a clear tell.

Saw this meme and thought I'd point that out.

Whoa there, some folks still do. They're more accessible for dyslexic students, and also allow ASCII formatting for quick and easy questions creation on the fly.

I don't know much about that. I know monospace is used when quoting lines of code. I'm talking about general academic and professional writing, and especially scholarly writing.

Academic/Scholarly monospace has long since fallen out of favour. It's a shame really as it does render text less readable.
