The Washington Post recently published a piece in their Speaking of Science section that claimed science has finally and definitively proved the superiority of the double space after a period. . . . “One space between each sentence, they said. Science just proved them wrong,” read the headline that Roy would have cut out of his newspaper and mimeographed so he could mail out copies to his grandchildren. . . . Reading speed only improved marginally, the paper found, and only for the 21 “two-spacers,” who naturally typed with two spaces between sentences. . . . So science proved two spaces are better for people who already double space and refuse to evolve. Groundbreaking. ———————————— #makeamerica #makeamericadoublespacedagain #doublespace #doublespacevssinglespace #royhobbs #zazzle #typewriter #typography #typographydesign #theotherroyhobbs #thenatural #bernardmalamud #themisguidedvindicationofroyhobbs #doublespacingandthelegacyofroyhobbs
