To someone of my age, the answer is:

Use your typewriter to type the letter a
roll the carriage up slightly
slide the paper back so that it is aligned properly
hold the carriage so that it doesn't move a full space
type two .'s
realign the paper

That's if your electric typewriter doesn't have that character on it.

Or, you just take your pen and make two dots on the paper after you've typed it.

I love word processing.
