In reply to the discussion: For the grammar police: One space after periods, people [View all]pipi_k
(21,020 posts)I learned typing in HS over 40 years ago, and we did double spacing after periods. After all these years, it's a habit.
Also...my eyes are getting older and it's often very hard for me to see the ends and beginnings of sentences without that double space.
If someone doesn't bother capitalizing the first letter of the next sentence, or writes in long paragraphs, or even capitalizes words that shouldn't be capitalized, it's painful to read what they've written. And I won't bother.
So I say to people...if you care about people actually reading what you write, make it easy for them to read it. If you just want to write for the sake of writing something, go ahead and make it difficult. Just don't complain when many people don't pay attention. And don't, FGS, accuse them of having a reading comprehension problem. I say that to people in general, not to you personally.
