Roger,
How interesting! I was never aware of that. I remember using an Apple
computer when I was in the second or third grade, and then, I was told to
space twice after sentences. I honestly don't know when I stopped doing
that, but if my memory serves me correctly, I began noticing other people
online didn't do it. No one ever told me to stop or mentioned that I should
start back up.

I think the point is that adding the extra space at the end of a sentence is
more esthetically pleasing to the eye on a typewritten page. That is not so
important in print and it is just the opposite in electronic format, so the
practice has been discontinued because there are not too many typewritten
pages around anymore.

Hi Nancy. I, too, remember the days of putting two spaces after each
sentence. However, that doesn't happen anymore. It is completely by accident
if a scanning
program does that most of the time, so I would replace two spaces with one.
By the way, sorry! I thought I fixed all occurrences of that with the book
you're proofing!

Hi all,
I hope this question will be simple. When I learned to type, I was told to
put two spaces at the end of a sentence. When I'm proofing a book, should I
fix it if it has only one or should I find/replace occurrences with two
spaces with only one space? Boy, I'm giving myself away as a braille and
audio
reader. Sorry if this sounds too elementary.
