What you guys called a "period" we call a "full stop".

I've never done the two spaces after a full stop thing. I was never taught to and I'm 55.

Understandable, you guys do everything upside down. All of the blood rushing to your head from being upside down probably has consequences.

My typography class taught:

typewriter = two spaces
typesetting for publication= one space

In graphic design, using two spaces is not correct !

When I see a "space"....I see a hex '40'....how many follow the last period in this sentence.



Pardon the poor punctuation ?

Is it better to conserve spaces?

We don't want to run out, you know.



Or maybe it is better to use spaces, so the supply chain won't collapse?
