The way I see it, if some typesetting system thinks one space looks better than two and renders two as one anyway, or if the difference is otherwise imperceptible, then there's still no reason for me to stop using two. It's pure muscle memory and if people can't tell the difference then I'm not going to stop.
- dahart 3y agoSounds good to me. I wonder if your comment was intended to respond to the sibling comment to mine? Anyway, I’d agree there’s no reason to stop, and anyway 2 spaces has been the rule and still is for some people. Language and technology being fluid is why there’s debate and why the number of spaces has changed over time, and it’s also why it’s okay to do it the way you want to.
