Well about 10 years ago I was teaching w/p to secretarial students, to the Pitmans stds and the double-space was included.

Besides, esp. with proportional fonts, spaces can be tiny, not necessarily an em space and thus I would advocate their use more strongly than with mono.

>Actually, the concept of two spaces after a period is history. That was used in the old days of the typewriter with mono-spaced fonts, but with today's fonts and computers, you should no longer do it.

>>When I did a case study for Microsoft, they asked that I not use two spaces after a period. I guess they were saving on white space. So, I don't comment my code, because, I mean, really, isn't foxpro code self documenting!!:) Think of all the disk space that will be saved.
