Yup, I noticed that as well. In the UK, we were not taught to use two spaces after a full stop, but as my text files are for me only, they are fed through a formatting program before sharing, I may try this. Use of 'semantic line feeds' obviates the issue. See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4642395 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4642395 Random information: the Bash formatting utility follows the two spaces convention. The 'par' program uses one space. On Ubuntu... keith@xeon:~$ fmt textfile | gedit or cat textfile | par j | gedit The latter produces justified monospace text for that retro look.
