Gotta cite for that "law"? Does it apply to colons too. I see that you use
only one space with a monospace font. I always use two spaces and I think
sentences look odd with only one space because they look like they run
together and sometimes they read like run-on sentences to me with only one
space. Plus, I learned to type on a regular, old-fashioned typewriter. I
remember learning to press the keys hard so that the text wouldn't look
faded. Punctuation really could get lost, so spacing made a difference.
