She wasn’t wrong. When we used typewriters with fixed fonts, two spaces was the norm. It was only with the advent of proportional spaced fonts and desktop publishing that one space became standard.
I am reading a book where the four-dot ellipsis is preceded by a space. The only time this doesn’t happen is in extracts, which were probably copied and pasted from the Net and so are done correctly. This really bothering me. I think I’m nuts.
Don’t worry about the one space or two spaces after a sentence. Everything that goes to press is searched for double spaces over and over again until there are no more left (to catch three spaces, four spaces, etc.).
Spaces and dots are my specialty.
That does it. I'm going on strike in protest of the periods lack of space now used. I will not type again until the world sees it my way and makes two spaces standard again.
Never again. I won't type ever.
Not even to respond or anything at work for......Starting to sound like some other protesters?
