I'm old school taught, too.. To bring it more or less on topic, I
noticed A LOT of changes like that slowly worked their way into
acceptance around the same time the word "computer" was becoming more
commonly uttered.. Not all that long ago, every comma, period, AND
space that could be dropped from usage had a visually measurable data
storage impact on those tiny hard drives of (also) not very long
ago... :)
