Hmm... does the USER care what level it's operating at? Should the

The simplest word I have thought of is "singlespace".

Adding on my suggestion as an innocent bystander. The style problem as I

I withdraw the suggestion. Since the default .ss 12 12 has the same
effect at a mid-line "sentence space" as copying the double space, I
had not realized that

Appreciation for the exquisite choice of adjective. :)
O.T., I know, but have we reached a consensus on how to make
that effing \& effable? I'm still for "non-printing, zero-width
character."

This suggests that one day there might be other warnings that fall
into the style-diagnostic catego
