Mechanical typewriters used a monospace font and two spaces made it easier to see the separation of sentences. From what I have read the practice of using two spaces predates typewriters and was commonly used in typesetting. Looking at a book that was printed by the office of my home town weekly in the late 40's it uses double spaces as does any of the images of old newspapers I looked at on line. However looking at the copy of my home town weekly that just arrived today they now use a single space. I too was taught in school (Ontario Public School) that there should be two spaces after a full stop and I still do it without even thinking about it. Paul. |
