an error report
Hello!
Please let me report an error in the article bind with the URL:
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/with_apache_openoffice_you_get
Almost before every sentence there an obivious space.

RE: an error report
Posted by "Dennis E. Hamilton" <de...@acm.org>.
The "extra" spaces seen on that blog post at <https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/with_apache_openoffice_you_get>
were placed there by the author of the blog post.
There is also confusion about what the standard is, and when it applies. When text is justified, one space is enough because the justification software will usually operate properly and give precedence to additional space after punctuation. For proportional fonts, the space is commonly quite thin and there is no reason to assume a little more is bad. It seems to be more about reading habits and custom. Since I learned to touch-type in the 1950s, and I am typing this message in a fixed-pitch font, it takes extra effort to omit the extra space. And it looks wrong to me when I do.
The only thing that seems to attract more religious outrage beyond the extra space in plaintext is the use of top-posting. Here's some of all of it.

There are different styles of typesetting - US standard is for the space between sentences to use the same spacing as between words; other geographic areas may use a wider space or a double standard space. My preference is that sentences should be set off from each other by a wider space (however generated), but this is a personal choice.
