The extra spacing is often distracting and unattractive. It creates ‘holes’ in the middle of a block of text — trapped white space on a smaller scale. Give it up. Stop doing it. If you ever have to submit something to a graphics professional, they’ll hate your double spaces. I have only “find and replace” to thank for all the people who like to give double spaced copy to me. When you use double-spaces in some graphics software, it has to put that space somewhere. If it’s at the end of a line, a lot of times that second (unneccessary) space ends up at the beginning of the next line. ☹ --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/buffalo-seen-it-rochester-shit/22988)._
