Period

Checking the space of sentences. With single spaced periods. To see what happens.
Checking the space of sentences. With double spaced period. To see what happens.

^^ the 2nd sentence has two spaces

All this time I've been using two spaces after a period, as that was what I was taught. Turns out, like cursive writing, it's no longer used nor taught... and I had no idea.

I still feel like I'm sort of coining a new grammar style... the dot dot dot between sentences that sort of flow together, but aren't really one sentence. I use it a lot.

And "a lot" is two words bitches. There is no such thing as "alot".

Multiple white space characters in a row in an HTML document are rendered as a single space.

Curse the death of grammar! The loss of double spacing looks wrong to me.
