That, right there, should be reason to make the double space between sentences the default! I was taught to double space after periods too, but when it became possible to have proportional type on typewriters, this double space went away. Typesetters don't use double spaces. Most people choose proportional fonts in word processors, so don't use the double space. So .. it's more a monospace font/typewriter thing than an general rule. But I agree that it is more pleasing visually, and therefore probably makes your message more readable when using monospace fonts. -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: [email protected] * * * Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed * * * Team OS/2 TBv.4.1.11 NT5 SP4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
