Personally I never encountered that (I've seen people consistently not leaving a space quite a few times, but never consistently two). Was that practiced only in typewriter typing, or also in books? I should check at my parents' place tomorrow, the oldest printed book at my place is from 1966 and definitely only has one space after a full stop. |
Wasn't it necessary to get automatic capitalisation at the start of the next sentence in earlier versions of MS Word/Works?
