General Question:
I'm seeing this happen quite a bit more these days, especially in formal writing in class, and it really troubles me... So can anyone clear this up, should there be one or two spaces between a period ending a sentence and the beginning of the next sentence?
- (no subject)
...unless it's written on a typewriter.
Word processed documents don't require it, but many people (myself included) tend to use a double space before a new sentance as a matter of habit.
Either form is acceptable, but the double space is no longer required.
Writer's guidelines for magazines and such generally ask you not to use it now.
