Monospaced was the only choice. >Now it is the exception. When I >was taught I was never told of the difference being based on the font, just >that two spaces was the "rule." Yes, because you were probably taught in the age of typewriters, and there were no other choices but monospaced then. Even today, there are still many people using proportional fonts on computers and putting in two spaces because that's the way they were taught. Not very long ago, I used to edit three or four Journals for organizations I was a member of. Other member used to send me contributions. Even though everyone used a proportional font, almost everyone put in two spaces. >Also struggle with the period being inside the quotes. That's a rule that very few people know. You see it violated much more often than it's followed.
