Full Stop Right Or Wrong?
60 Answers

//Two word spaces (English Spacing). It is sometimes claimed that the two-space convention stems from the use of the monospaced font on typewriters, but in fact that convention replicates much earlier typography — the intent was to provide a clear break between sentences.[26] This spacing method was gradually replaced by the single space convention in published print, where space is at a premium, and continues in much digital media.[25][27]
