Hello.

Dave Howell:

It's worth noting that actually turning this theory into reality seems
to apply to 'Western' (American, British, others?) typography (mostly?
only?).

I've yet to see a typical modern Polish book typeset with greater
inter-sentence spaces. Also (and, I guess, as a result of this),
I doubt I ever saw any Polish email or Usenet post with two
inter-sentence spaces, and I remember how happy I was to find
out about the 'joinspaces' vim option that finally let me reflow
paraghaprs properly, without doing a s/  / /g on them afterwards. :o)

Cheers,
