What era in time do these people think R’s are trying to conserve to, after or before civil rights?

    whose convention?

    Standard convention taught in every school and observed in every print we read?

    I’ve never seen a convention in English where a space doesn’t separate a period and whatever follows: no instance considered correct where

    They write a sentence.A period ends that sentence.Space is omitted.Next sentence follows.

    See how jarring that looks? Obscene.

    Though if you’ve seen a practice like that in active production out in the field, then I’d welcome to see it. That’d be new.

      Yet lists can be special

      1. markup is way over sensitive

      2. So even if I use period then space as a delimiter

      3. Maybe I spaced it out

      4. Which works everywhere else
