I doubt your books display themselves in monospaced fonts. My technical literature more often than not does.

  That's my point. Most books don't use monospaced fonts, which was the case given in the article for instances where you'd use two spaces. You don't often see monotype in emails you send, or word processors, or newspapers, or even (as pointed out earlier) in web pages. If you're writing a technical manual, then you may want to use two spaces, but really isn't that something that would be handled by the printer?

    "You don't often see monotype in emails..." Well, maybe you don't... and most technical manuals I see, use, and write are never printed. "(as pointed out earlier) in web pages." Well there it doesn't matter in the slightest. You might as well just use double-spaces and not bother yourself to change your habit.

    I see monospace typefaces in email all the time. The fact you like your emails extra-infected does not mean I share your enthusiasm for HTML mucking up my monospace formatting when someone sends an email with source code in it.
