Re: Bye Bye Boris!
This is the first time I’ve heard of a double space after a full stop
How about not having a sig at all?

Pete is correct. People who write code are not qualified to comment.

Dunno what you’re on about Rev, he seems very concerned with current events.

Never heard of that either. On an iPhone if you double tap the space bar it does a full stop and one space which is what I would do if I was typing normally.

I’ve looked it up and it’s because typewriters left smaller spaces so it looked odd and was done to make new sentences more clear but ever since the advent of the computer it’s pointless.

Stop talking about his quirky views on measurements and start talking about his voting record.
Which is basically the embodiment of an entitled, moneyed fucksock who wants to go back to the the 1950s, with all that entails.

But software seems to do it automatically? If you look closely it seems that spacing is greater after any form of punctuation versus between words.

No it isn't. I can read a document and tell you whether double spacing is used or not.

Re: Bye Bye Boris!
Oxford comma goes before 'and', that's talking about commas after 'and'.
Re: Bye Bye Boris!
Ok I'm probably going to be shown up as a fool here, but isn't JRM obviously correct on this point as well? The oxford comma should come before the 'and' rather than after it.
