To reiterate my earlier strictures regarding the proper
formatting of text, let me say again:
(1) Use proper margins, both right and left. Text that
is flush with the edge of the paper or screen is SO
unattractive!
(2) Do not make the error, so common in online text entry,
of having your lines too long. Ten words per line is
about right. The 80-column terminal width standard did a
disservice to us all. Look at almost any book; you will
see that there are about ten words on each line, sometimes
a little more, sometimes a bit less. So much easier to
read than the long, strung-out lines that one sees in so
much online text.
(3) Do not, I repeat DO NOT, type two spaces between
sentences. Use just one, the same as between words
within a sentence. The text flows so much better visually
if you do this.

Oh. I'll have to remember that.
Left Margin Right Margin
Center margin.
Re #2: Those are not bad margins, although I tend to make
mine a little narrower.
If
some
is
good,
more
is
better.
Ah ah ah...were those two spaces I saw after that period?

There's a spare dozen. Sorry if i shortchanged you!
To add to what I said in #0: One should also make
appropriate use of b^Hbo^Hol^Hld^Hdf^Hfa^Hac^Hce^He type for proper
emphasis.
Also, u^H_n^H_d^H_e^H_r^H_s^H_c^H_o^H_r^H_i^H_n^H_g^H_ should not be
neglected.
Wow....puts my feeble efforts at _underscoring_ to shame. How does he do it?
