First off, we should be writing in a fixed space font so we can take visual cues from spacing more easily. Next, why do we need periods at the end of a sentence when we know that two spaces after a word mean that the previous sentence just ended Doesn't that make sense And do we really need caps at the beginning of a sentence we know all sentences are capitalized and we have just defined that two spaces before a word means that it is at the beginning of a sentence next we should look at spelling double consonants don't realy add to the meaning so begining now we spel words by droping repeated consonants just look at al these great benefits we can learn from python self.we self.just self.need self.to self.learn self.to self.ignore self.certain self.aspects self.that self.may self.cary self.over -- Jim Freeze --Apple-Mail-1--505555067--
