One space or two spaces

No, no, no! You guys are SO wrong. It is people like you who make designers’ lives hell when they have to set long copy supplied by the client. One space only, ever, unless you are typing on a typewriter (and then only if it is pre-IBM golfball).

And, Carolyn, an ellipses only has three dots (…) - EVER …

Here endth my rant.

carolynannahall:

I am totally on TEAM TWO SPACE.

georgiegirlnyc:

Today a post about how many spaces are meant to be put after a full stop went around the internets.  Apparently, the rule is that only one space is needed.  This goes against everything I was taught.  Boo hiss!

Am I the only one who is now totally paranoid about how many spaces I put after my full stop (or I think maybe Americans say ‘period’)?

I’m still going to go with two spaces and call my writing vintage :-)

“ The people who run agencies tend to be of an older vintage - to put it politely,” said Sorrell. “They tend to be resistant to change and want to spend the last three to four years of their careers travelling around the world rather than dealing with fundamental strategic issues on a daily basis.

It might be a big call to make so early on, but this has to be a contender for the worst ad of the century.

mysmallnotes: MERCHANTS OF FANCY Flying trapeze artists, a dervish-like shot-putter, and tea-cup-pollinating bees act as tour guides in a virtual amble through DISTRACTED: Merchants of Fancy, Perth’s preeminent curiosity shop. It’s an alluring dance to get you to visit in person. When you do, you’ll get lost perusing French cutlery, Lomo cameras, and BedHead pajamas. Extract yourself in time to stop by the Haircut shop where the stylists will make you feel polished without using your head as their own personal canvas. See Connie “The Ripper” Burt, their efficient waxing specialist, for a different sort of maintence. Refresh at the Coffee shop, with sustainably-grown Fiori coffee, an ever-evolving menu of delicacies, and rich treats by neighborhood bakers. Or contemplate works by local artists in their gallery. Make sure to mark your calendar for the first of every month, when they host their Distracted Manual Arts Academy, a workshop with instructors from a roster of respected local artisans.

We’ve started to have some fun with posters in the windows of MYO stores. MYO (myo.net.au) is a chain of sandwich outlets we work with. (This one is an Australian political in-joke about the Liberal Party leadership)
