> Using two spaces to separate sentences was the way I learned to type > in my high school typing class taught in 1956. Agreed, this was the method as taught back then, in fact i know of many typists taught this method well after '56. > The use of a space before a question mark or exclamation mark is not > normative. Agreed. > I use it sometimes to make it distinct from a letter "l" which looks > very similar on my computer screen. See here: "ll!I" which is two > lower case 'L' followed by the exclamation mark, and a capital letter > "i." On my computer screen they all are very close in appearance. > This is very dependant on the font in use, and perhaps to old eyes like mine on font size. I would add a "one" and a "bar" to your mix "l1!Ii|" and in some fonts square brackets as well "[]". -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
