I have no problem to use \, as a space command but when you use don’t put a 
space between the command and the following character.

The \. command is used to create a accented character but it shouldn’t be 
needed when you have a keyword which allows you to write the character.

\starttext

a\,b\par
a\thinspace b

\blank[line]

\.{c}

\stoptext
