    Every extra space is a billable hour.
    So, this contractor has a massive heart attack and dies and goes up to St. Peter who is reviewing his file.
    "Where am I?" The contractor asks.
    "Heaven," Peter replied, "You had a massive heart attack and died."
    "A massive heart attack? That can't be, I'm only 38. I run every day, eat healthily..."
    "38?" Peter inquires. "Says here you're 78... Oh, I see, these are your billable hours."





    I amazed at the varied responses. For now on I'm using 1.5 spaces.

      This is the first time I've ever seen anyone advocating a single space. Bloody heathens.

        Learned old school. Two spaces. Force of Habit. Too old to change.
        Didn't know that 1 is the new standard.

          2 spaces is a relic from the typewriter days.

          1 space for computers.

          But I still do two out of habit.

            You must be a bad English teacher.

              Thank goodness the forum software saves us from the two-spaces-heresy by autoconverting them into single spaces

                That's actually part of the HTML standard.

                    Two is the way to go. I'm aware of the new standards, but unless your document is justified, two just looks better. Easier to read.

                      Depends on context. If doing a report or intensive piece, one; if doing a presentatation, two and increased focus on format. Punctuation always screws me more. Colon or semi-colon destroys me.

                        One space is correct, you idiots. Now go take your extra spaces and use them to buy a clue.

                            I'm not even that old and I still use two. I just like the way it looks.

                              With proportional fonts one looks stupid.
                              Screw reality. And Just who is the keeper of this stupid switch to one. Who claims it's official.
