I switched to single spacing about 15 years ago when I was reading about typography for legal writing. Now I find two-spacing jarring. Also, when seeing two-spacing I somewhat irrationally get the feeling that the writer is old-fashioned or uninformed. I understand the claim that two-spacing makes it easier to read because it separates sentences. But that is what the period does. Sentences are supposed to flow together. Paragraphs are for separating. And from the linked article: “I’ve gotten a lot of flak for using a mono-spaced font (Courier New) in the study,” said Johnson. Flak? I think using monospace font invalidates the conclusion of study. |
