    Hi All,

    I'm not sure that my question is relevant for this section, but i really need your professional opinion. You're working with texts professional, so you can give me a really relevant answer :)

    What do you think about the practice to use 2 spaces between sentences (not paragraphs!), like: "Text text text text. Text text text."

    Thanks a lot,

    It's proper to use single spacing between sentences. Double-spacing went out with typewriters.

    The best practice would be after you have placed your punctuation mark (, . ? ! : ; ) one space is sufficient before starting the next word. There are people that use two spaces but for writers one space is usually easier/quicker. Hope this helps.
