Re: Spacing

Yeah, well, two spaces even in the modern era of computer proportional fonts still looks right to me.  It was MS Word grammar checker that forced me out of that long habit.

Re: Spacing

I hate to admit, but I tend to agree the writing is on the wall for the double space. Now to get rid of that habit ...

Re: Spacing

I haven't typed two spaces after a period, since I stopped using a typewriter. I had that 'what is she talking about' moment when I read the article. So I guess I'm cured of that habit, if it ever was a habit.

Re: Spacing

What's a typewriter?

Re: Spacing

LOL!!! Go to your nearest writing museum and I'm sure they'll have a few on display. wink

Re: Spacing

Just know that double/single space extends to colons as well. Oh, but we're never to use colons in fiction.
