 * Regarding the French spacing, we only use one space after the period because if you use more than one, the excess ones will not be visible. For example, this is one space after the period: ". " This is two:". ". This is three:".   " As you can see, this makes a difference when viewing in the edit window, but not when looking at the page normally. Thus, it ultimately doesn't matter, but for the sake of economy only one space is usually used. (Or at least that's my experience with it, I could be wrong.) ♪Tempo  di Valse ♪  01:45, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you. This I didn't know. School papers and what not do the 2 spacings. I will convert over to one space after full stop sentence periods.SriMesh | talk  03:39, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
