2 spaces after...

  1. There are supposed to be 2 spaces after a period and 1 space after a comma. The forum is trimming the 2 spaces after a period, down to 1 space and it makes for a cluttered read. Please fix.

    Grammarly sez:-

    "It is generally agreed that having only one space after a period or punctuation mark is correct. While some may believe that either way is right, Microsoft formally settled the space debate in 2020 and sided with everyone who thinks one space is correct, not two."

    In the April 2020 update, Microsoft Word started highlighting two spaces after a period as an error and offers a correction of one space.
