- in the old days, when typewriters
- were in common use, typists were
- always told to put two spaces
- between sentences. this created a
- pleasing look to the page, since
- words were separated by a single
- space, and sentences were separated
- by two spaces. this was necessary
- because typewriters use a letter
- style that gives every letter the
- same amount of space. proportional
- type, used by computers, allows the
- letter z to be wider than the
- letter i. the letter w is wider
- than the letter l, and word
- processors acknowledge this. the
- rule these days is to use only one
- space between sentences. this works
- because the period includes its own
- little bit of separating space.
- another rule of word processing and
- page printing is to always use the
- curly kind of quotation marks you
- see in books and magazines. the
- straight quotation marks used in
- this typing program are there so
- you don't have to hunt for the odd
- key strokes that yield curly
- quotes. most real word processors
- have an automatic way to include
- them. i hope yours does. it's sad
- that you have come to the end of
- another fine typing lesson, but
