Julian Assange is wrong about so many things, IMO. I know many people think he's a fine fellow and would disagree with me in saying he should be ganched and filleted.

But this is, surely, one that we can all agree on.

No, Farhad is not wrong.

I first learned to type in an actual typing class, before mere mortals could afford computers. I was taught two spaces. That was in the early 1980s.

The world has moved on since then, as I'm pretty sure you know. Do you still do everything else the way you did it 30 years ago?

Each sentence is an idea, complete and whole, able to stand on it's own.

Its own, for heaven's sake. Apparently you are doctrinaire about obsolete typographical practices, but quite careless about basic spelling and punctuation.

but you separate them with white space too.

Funny, I find a period and a space quite enough to do that. I don't add an extra space, any more than I do an extra period.

One could argue that with modern proportional fonts and computer controlled kerning the fundamental need is gone

Yes, indeed one could. In fact, that's exactly what he does argue. And it's a pretty darn convincing argument.

Farhad can stuff it.

And so, my dear sir, can you.
