Well, when I started typing - and learning about typography (???) - it
was on a typewriter, about 25 years ago. where there any computers back
then, in the stone age? ;-)
To get serious again, I just wanted to know *why* to insert two spaces.
It is against the basic rule in typesetting I learned, which is not much
and was in the time when lead was still used.
PS: Thomas, we seem to be from the same town, but I am still living
here in one of Germany's most beautiful cities - Hamburg. Could be that
I move in about one or two years, exploring the Wild, Wild East - in
another beautiful place (Leipzig).
