Nope,
double
space
is
just
wierd
looking
.
AH. I knew you were supposed to do that! Its what killed me in my typing class. I could type 90 words per minute, but I always got one point taken off by the stupid program for not double spacing. >:(
NO.
Although when people put a space before and after punctuation it makes me nerd rage for some reason..
ie: hey guys , i am awesome .
more examples:
This is a sentence .
This is a list of stuff: apples , oranges
This is a question ?
I know you're supposed to do that, but I never do.
*shrugs*
Xeno, I am disappoint. The option that I would have voted for was "No, because grammar is awesome!" Edit: I fixed that. *cackle*
Double spacing between sentences is archaic. Even though I'm typically big on anything retro or old-school, the double space is not ok.
Use One Space Between Sentences
Double Spaces Between Sentences…NOT!
Double Spacing Between Sentences is Not Cool Anymore!

I've got a hard on. But not for grammar.
I do. You learn to do that in like, grade 4 or 3, don't you? o_O
TWO spaces?
This is madness...
No.Quote:

Cloud13 is clearly incapable of a hard-on for grammar.
You cannot repent for the error of your ways?
Do not be a disgrace to grammar, my Vanilla Bear.
My erection for grammar is beyond comprehension.
I'm finding it hard to get my head around why you would use two spaces instead of one. O_o

You may have a ***** for the heretical and "new age" ways of grammar, but I have a raging, throbbing ***** for what is actually correct grammar.Quote:

Not after any punctuation, just after periods.
Besides, better safe than sorry when it comes to these things. What if you get a professor or a boss who really notices these things? I mean, it's not like it's such a hard thing to do.
edit: totally off-topic, but xeno, have you listened to the Trans-Continental Hustle album by Gogol Bordello yet?
No, I haven't!!

The Chicago Manual of Style is a comprehensive and widely used style manual for American English writing, and has been called the "standard of the book publishing industry". The 15th edition, published in 2003, provides guidance on this topic in two contexts. In a section titled "Keyboarding: General Instructions", the manual states that "a single character space" should be used between sentences for both "manuscript and in final, published form".
Face it; you're mistaken.Quote:
The Modern Language Association (MLA) tolerates either one or two spaces after the "concluding punctuation marks" of a sentence. However, a 2009 statement by the MLA online notes that it expressly uses a single space after concluding punctuation in its MLA writing style examples.
I quite like this add-a-picture-after-your-post thing going on.

Barack Obama (left) and Ernest Hemingway (right) know a lot more about double spacing than you do.
