Firstly, what does John Rhodes say about using two periods?

Secondly, using two spaces to end a sentence is a long-standing formatting option for English text.  The spacing used in WRITING English has always used a bit wider spacing between sentences.  This standard was adopted for typewriting and become the two spaces we've become used to.

But, lazy types like to omit that 2nd space, since we live in the Lazy Age (check out "texting" and its predecessor chat rooms).  That's the sole reason for why people think that the standard has changed or is changing.  But it really hasn't.  Official English sentences are demarcated in writing with a slightly wider spacing, and in typewriting with two spaces.  "PERIOD."

Your scholarship is suspect.  But that's only to be expected from one in the Lazy Age.

No, he merely stepped on his own dick, and the wild windmilling of his arms when he struggled to retain his balance, only gave the impression that he was reaching out to slap.

I don't need to "re-read" since the first reading was more than enough to conclude that there's some yuppie revisionism going on merely because some netfags are posting using one space instead of two to represent sentence separation.  What I said in >>3 is perfectly true and still stands.  Two spaces are the official English standard.  Using one space is only an option.  Hence, when I use two spaces I'm doing nothing wrong in ANY sense.

As for yourself, you might want to skip all this blogging and just gb2college to take a few courses in your own language, English.  You clearly lack education in the topic, and like many who do, you mistake populism for official truth.  To wit:  It doesn't matter what millions of blogfucks do, since official English has a definition and that's simply not going to change in the larger analysis and form.  We may have added "email" to the language, but the root words are STILL "electronic mail" and that is still covered by the forms of OFFICIAL ENGLISH.

Two spaces is what I use, and I'm sticking to it.  It's not a fucking new kind of hat everybody wears sideways or some shit.  I can not abide people who take fashion as preferable to logic and clarity.

It sure is easy to talk about "standard" English and "official" English, but can you state your references?

Unless you can answer that, gtfo.

P.S. You've been proven to be wrong so many times by now, it's starting to become boring.
