It may or may not be grammatically correct, depending on your semantics, butI'm simply wondering about the grammatically-correct double space after a period. For years, it's never mattered to me, but I have a client who is a stickler for this sort of thing, and he asked if I could please add the extra spaces in his site.
it is pure and simply wrong. Is your client writing a term paper on a
typewriter or publishing a web site, book or magazine? The double space
issue is and should be a dead one. This issue plagued the desktop world many
moons ago. I know, I've been doing magazines and books for over thirty
years. These days no managing- or copy-editor worth their salt would ever
allow such spacing. It is incorrect and should be treated that way. Look at
any book, magazine or published piece, there are no double spaced periods,
period.
An old world thought that refuse to die...
