A computer is not a typewriter...

But you knew that, didn't you? Of course you did! You are not still pressing 'Enter' at the end of each line, right?

So, why do you still make a double-space after each fullstop (.)?

Did you know that if you are writing text for a web page, the second space is not recognized? Or that this double-space can create havoc with the formatting of an electronic document? Oh, there are always exceptions, but just get with it and drop those very old fashioned typing habits.

Why am I writing about something that obvious? Well, every time I come across something at work, or someone asks me questions that seem terribly obvious to me but are not for them, I write about it here.
