The spacing as you kept it, with the same horizontal spacing between sentences as between words, is usually called "French Spacing" in English. :) [That's a somewhat simplified statement.] French spacing was unusual in English typing and typesetting until about 1945, but in modern English typography, since at least the 1990, having a wider space between sentences is now almost universally regarded as needless and sometimes as somewhat old-fashioned (even though some, including myself, still like it). It is a not-so-productive but notorious matter of debate. Putting the double space after sentences is still useful in roff(7) input because that's the only practical way at all to tell the roff(1) program "a sentence ends here". How the typesetter will then represent the sentence space on the output side is a matter of output settings. For plain ASCII and UTF-8 text files, it doesn't really matter. Use whatever style you like. What definitely still matters is the related concept "new sentence, new line" in manual pages. Yours, Ingo > anyway, thanks for the improvements, appreciated !
