You don't think that the bold part also expresses "follow the leader" mentality?
The reason word processors allow it is because they also *gasp* allow optional monospaced fonts, which is what the practice exists for. Saying that you need more white space on any proportionally spaced font to improve readability is ridiculous. The only reason there is ever any trouble picking out the sentences in a wall of text is when gaps between letters of the same word often nearly equal the gaps between words and sentences (monospace). Should I just start using double periods everywhere I type? The logic is the same.
Once again, I never brought this up before so I obviously don't care as much as you want to make it out to be. I only brought it up to make a point about sheep mentality in a thread that is FULL of it.
not me. I wonder who the 2nd person would be.
this issue, for me, is a larger issue of "I know the rules based on my own personal experience, therefore I determine the rules."
I'm far more interested in pointing out the fallacy of people like you boldly proclaiming you know something that you clearly don't know.
The two space issue is inherently meaningless to me. fuck, I still throw two spaces in from time to time. I really don't care.

yet you keep bringing it up.
lol. I keep bring it up?
all of my responses have been just that--responses. It shouldn't take so many posts to explain a rather simple point.
but there you have it.
