Well Hans, it is probably less objectionable that the right column
justified printing that we see in newspaper printing which frequently
ends up with unbelievable spaces in the middle of test. Equally,
objectionable is the computerized hyphenation which oftimes totally
ignores the most basic rules. A pox on both.

When I was in
the 8th grade, one of the courses we were required to take was
in typing. I've never gotten particularly good at it, but I did learn that
a period at the end of a sentence is followed by two spaces, for example.
Thank you very much. So it seams there is a 'school' forcing this in
the US .... and I always wondered why some people add two spaces after
a period. There's even a very old 'text beautyfier' for DOS which
inserted this (for my eyes) stupid spaces. Well, I guess CC is no
only the hardwarae :=)
