When I took my Pitman typing exams many years ago, anything less than two spaces after a full stop would have been a fail. Anything less, just doesn't look right, old fashioned or not. Regardless of whether you observe the rule it has to be consistent with at least one space - certainly not no space.French Cricket wrote:Qué???????Bunny wrote: i.e. ALWAYS two spaces after a full stop

I'm using a Windows laptop with IE. Nothing comes up at all when I click on it so not sure what is meant to go in the first box.hcbts wrote:Hi,Bunny wrote: Also one of the drop down boxes on the reservations form does not work.
Could you let me know which browser / device you were using as the drop down boxes work for me on firefox, chrome and IE ?
I have dropped the "contact us" page - you were right to point it out as it served no purpose
Thanks again

That's my point - it is all about ease of reading. We all know that guests' boredom threshold is very limited and they will read very little. If you wish to pick out a previously read sentence, it is much easier to scan back and find the beginning and end of sentences when the old fashioned rule has been applied. Even with proportional font spacing, one space only leaves the equivalent space as a full stop which gives very little definition. Love it or hate it, anything that makes information easier to read has to be better for our guests, and ultimately us.rammy100 wrote: As Bunny says, there are still a few typos and commas without spaces etc. (although I don't agree with the two spaces after a full stop. Is that really necessary these days?
I also find the colour of the script a little too light on a white background as it makes it a touch difficult to read for me. What's wrong with using black?
It originates from the days of typewriters where fonts were monospaced. 2 spaces after a full stop using these fonts was much more readable.Bunny wrote:

I only see one drop down and it's broke. When you arrive at the home page, the reservations page is highlighted.hcbts wrote:Hi,Bunny wrote: Also one of the drop down boxes on the reservations form does not work.
