@iamthatenglishteacher: The double space after a period is a relic of the typewriter era when monospaced fonts required extra spacing for readability. However, in modern writing, especially with proportional fonts, a single space is now the standard. Most style guides, including APA, MLA, Chicago, and AP, recommend using a single space after a period. Microsoft Word and Google Docs even flag double spaces as errors. That said, some people still prefer double spacing out of habit or personal preference. If you’re writing for a specific audience, it’s always best to check their preferred formatting rules. #GrammarLesson #WritingTips #GrammarRules #SpacingMatters #EnglishWriting #PunctuationRules #writing #MLA #WritingMistakes #LearnGrammar #GrammarHelp #GrammarCheck #EnglishTeacher #EditingTips #GrammarNerd #Proofreading #SingleSpace #WritingSkills
