Guest doctorfunk Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 I just realized that if I only inserted one space rather than two spaces after each period (end of sentance), I could conserve the number of available characters at my disposal? Does anybody recommend against doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mying Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 It didn't hurt my Queen's app, at least. I'd avoid doing any contractions though, but I remember using the thesaurus a couple times to find a smaller word to use instead of larger words.

Guest Tanya24 Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 Hi doctorfunk, I certainly wouldn't recommend against one space vs. two. I am doing mine with one space and I think it actually looks tidier than the traditional 2-spaces approach. Besides, we need all the characters we can possibly get. Good luck with your application. All 5 schools? Tanya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aneliz Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 I did the one space thing last year and it didn't hurt me at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest doctorfunk Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 All 5. The only additional school submission that I have completed so far is Western's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MayFlower1 Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 doctorfunk, The graphic design specialist I used to work for indicated that two spaces after a period is not correct in printed media or electronic media. Apparently a single space after a period is the "accepted norm" these days. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tanya24 Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 doctorfunk, lol! Sounds like you're right on schedule. Still 16 days to go, after all. Good luck! Tanya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
