Frownland, whenever you have a pressing question to
what is and what should never be maybe should ask Chula Vista. Two spaces is a type setter rule. However things have changed since their time. The type setter has gone the way of the elevator operator, and the elevator when has gone the way of the share cropper. I think when you use two spaces between a sentence when posting on MB the programmy thing (whatever MB uses) reduces it to just one space automatically and without your
consent. The computers are taking over, it might be spaces today, tomorrow probably whole content. Anything controversial will be edited to meet PC standards. Metaphorically spaces are the camels nose in the tent. Thank you for bringing up this important yet overlooked issue. George Orwell predicted the future when he said "2+2=5" cause now with computers "two spaces = one space."
