Re: WHOIS Reminder Proofreading

[Jack Broughton]

Well... I'm betting this definitely falls into the realm of off-topic for this list BUT I remember that grade 9 typing was the only course I ever failed in high-school (skipped a lot of classes due to end of day varsity sports and general indifference) AND yet was probably one of the most useful highschool courses I took when I got to university.  I was ALWAYS taught that in our mono spaced courier font typewriters we always had two spaces after a full stop. Then later in life I was told that in electronic presentation (web, documents viewed electronically etc.) it was one space after a full stop and two spaces was reserved for physically printed media.  (I agree that having two version of a document (one for print and one for reading electronically seems silly)). I still put two spaces in all instances because it seemed like an inexpensive way to be a rebel in this world.  :) Kai Schaetzl wrote: Ben Kennedy wrote on Wed, 5 Nov 2003 21:55:23 -0500: Back in the days of manual typewriters and mono-spaced fonts, perhaps. Even then you had only one space after a full stop. Not two, not none. At least in Germany. Kai
