"It is generally accepted that the practice of putting two spaces at the
end of a sentence is a carryover from the days of typewriters with
monospaced typefaces.  Two spaces, it was believed, made it easier to
see where one sentence ended and the next began.  Most typeset text,
both before and after the typewriter, used a single space.

"The only time more than 1 space was used in a line of type was when we
had to justify the line to the full margins." — Madisonhank, describing
typesetting before digital type

Today, with the prevalence of proportionally spaced fonts, some believe
that the practice is no longer necessary and even detrimental to the
appearance of text."

TF> Thanks Bob, this seems to support my case.

Or not :-)

YMMV :-)
