I am about to begin a newsletter project and I am wondering what the "right" way to format sentences is. Back in the old typewriter days, TWO spaces after a period was the standard. Now, however, it seems like people are using only ONE space. Which is correct? Does it depend on the situation, i.e. one space in news- letters, articles, etc. and two spaces in correspondence, theses, etc. I know this may seem trivial, but in the interest of "professionalism", I would like to know... Thanks... Sam Hahn shahn@hstbme.mit.edu
