Also, everyone remember to put ONE space after periods, even with monospaced
type. (I was involved in a discussion with various people who should know,
one being a professional typesetter, the others being fellow students--only
their major was printing & publishing).
I thought this was only for published works, ie. Newspapers, books, etc.
Unpublished essays, stories should have two spaces...?
     Nope. You're always supposed to use one space after a period, question
mark, exclamation point, or colon. It was an old secretaries myth about 2
spaces, and therefore found its way into typing classes, then english classes.
