   Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 15.07.2021 01:09

   AK>  In the Russian language we have the rule that no additional

             Ah.  I follow patterns, not rules... but this makes sense to   
   me.  The period can do double duty at the end of a sentence.  In E_T we   
   often talk about spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.  And I use the   
   traditional double space at the end of a sentence to reinforce the idea   
   that I've come to a full stop.

   I thought for a long time what had you meant by "double space at the end   
   of a sentence" because my qouter removes double spaces. ;-)
