RE: Spaces after full stop

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

Gotta cite for that "law"?  Does it apply to colons too.  I see that you use
only one space with a monospace font.  I always use two spaces and I think
sentences look odd with only one space because they look like they run
together and sometimes they read like run-on sentences to me with only one
space.  Plus, I learned to type on a regular, old-fashioned typewriter.  I
remember learning to press the keys hard so that the text wouldn't look
faded.  Punctuation really could get lost, so spacing made a difference.
