More on the Double Spaces
My friend and colleague Dick Margulis — who knows far more about such things than I ever shall — sent me some more information to share with those of you who are still disbelievers.
He disagres with me about the readability of text written with only one space between sentences (”It is still true that for greater readability extra space after a sentence is desirable”); but that disagreement nonwithstanding, it’s a nice encapsulation of this history.
Read it, and you’ll be … beyond the elements of style!
