RE: Spaces after full stop

["Gordon McLean" <Gordon -dot- McLean -at- GrahamTechnology -dot- com>]

On a (somewhat) related note.

Which is tastier? Apples or Oranges?
Which colour is nicer? Blue or Red?
Etc etc.

I'm sometimes glad of the time difference as, when I saw my TechWR folder
full of these emails, my first reaction was to cherry pick a random few,
then skip to the last one and delete them all.

Now, how do YOU punctuate a bulleted list? ;-)

Subject: Re: Spaces after full stop

The continuing debate demonstrates to me that there is no "true rule,"
merely prevailing convention, which means that regardless of which I prefer,
there will inevitably be some client or customer with a checkbook somewhere
who prefers it the other way.  Therefore, since the "obsolete" double space
that I was raised on and still default to is the easiest to change to its
opposite, I choose that as my preference.
What's the point of retraining yourself when you can do it any way you
prefer and have it either way with the click of a button?
