It's one thing that I learned in high school that I can honestly say I use every day of the week. Back then, we learned on big, heavy manual Underwood typewriters. And two spaces was required at the end of every sentence. (One space after a period following an abbreviation like Mr. Jones, of course.) The single space at the end of a sentence was brought about after the invention of word processors that could do proportional spacing. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
