I've always found that two spaces :> after end-of-sentence punctuation makes things easier to read! : :I vote for two spaces after the period before the start of a new sentence. :Even in the digital age, I've always found that the two spaces make :for better reading of text. I think that most of our formatting :tools do this too (please don't flame me if I'm wrong :-). : :-Mike :-- :Mike Pritchard :mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mpp.pro-ns.net I guess they don't teach manual typewriting classes any more :-) It *had* to be two spaces or you got seriously marked down! Two spaces has been burned into my brain since high school! (I wonder if I can sue?) . For proof, just look at all the postings I've ever made to these lists. I'm not nitpicking... I couldn't care less what other people do. But I think it's an amusing generational effect. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
