Gelgels

I'm Angela. My life is filled with math techy nerd happiness, art puns, and cheerleading references.
I graduated from the prestigious Harvard-Westlake in LA, and I am officially a UCLA Bruin.
I like my iPhone, twitter, tumblr, facebook, LAist, textsfromlastnight and thepiratebay. That may or may not be my bookmarks bar on Firefox.

Ooooh.

Thought: Don’t sentences that are questions have a syntactical signature that is machine recognizable? If yes, couldn’t the iPhone be made to know when to insert a period when you hit double spacebar and when to switch to a question mark?

Most of the time when I text someone, I’m asking them a question, so I’d rather the double spacebar tap be a question mark personally.

 I like this thought. That’d be really convenient, though I’m so used to typing on my phone that its quicker for me to hit the period or question mark than it is for me to remember to double tap after a sentence. I’m still getting used to that.
