      Where do you stand on full stops in presentations?
      I habitually put a double space after a full stop. But I'm trying to get over it.

        I wonder if all UKIP literature is presented like this?

              That's the correct way in fact. Or so I was taught. Today I looked it up, and found this:
              One space or two after a full stop? - Emphasis

              I had no idea it was co contentious. I just assumed that I was right and everyone else was wrong. For most things in life, that seems to be true, but apparently not so this time

                I haven't read the article, but I was taught to use two spaces. But then that was from someone who used to use a manual typewriter when she learned to touch type. Now, apparently, it's one space, which I find difficult to consistently do.

                I am working on it, though.

                  I've never heard of using two spaces anywhere, but then I am from the poverty stricken North East so we probably couldn't afford the extra spaces.

                    2 spaces was definitely right in the old days but just as Word will add a space between paragraphs without you hitting Enter multiple times, it can handle sentences. THere's probably even a setting for it somewhere.

                      If I inherit a document, or share it with someone, I invariably take over and instil my own formatting 'rules'.

                      Find, Replace all double spaces with single.
                      Left justify everything.
                      Replace all attempts to embolden with capitalisation with lower-case in bold.
                      Insert Page Breaks where they've just hit Return 28 times.

                      It often ends up with a bit of a ding-dong with someone who has opposing, but equally strong views on any of the above.
