Quick: Need an "authoritative" reference for "one space after ending punctuation"
#46
Spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization - it's all just convention, right? As such, all subject to interpretation, according to some contributions to this thread. After all, you were able to clearly ascertain the meaning of my statement, right? Isn't that what's important - the clarity of the message?

By George, I think you've got it.

Given your aforementioned and my previous post, and the topic at hand, whether or not one chooses to use one or two spaces after a period should not throw someone else into a tizzy. It's not the same as a care not running because a piston was incorrectly inverted, or somebody getting an overdose because a decimal was incorrectly placed.

It's a matter of somebody choosing to follow a different convention.

I'm glad we got that straightened out.
