> 'French Spacing, oo-la-la, you want it all fancy, huh? The really bizarre thing being that in LaTeX, \frenchspacing means *not* to put extra space after a sentence! It also appears right that (human) typsetters did stretch the space between sentences more than the space between words when stretching a line to right-justify it. In order to do that with a computer typesetting program, and to avoid it assuming a sentence ends after other use of periods (e.g. in "Mr. Lundh"), you have to tell it where the sentences end. Double spacing is a convenient convention for that. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
