    english grammar question.

    Hey, just wondering to myself again why after a comma (,) you leave a space? same for a fullstop. or anything peice of grammar point.

    why cant we all write like this,its much better and would save alot more space.Plus makes more sense.

      I think it's just easier for the eye to read.
      Also, there is one space after a comma and two spaces after a period.
      So you pause for a comma and a pause a bit longer for a period.

          Oooooook.Well, think about it.If you DO NOT leave a space after a "," the computer interpretes that the 2 words sepparated by your comma are just one word.This could lead to some bad arrangement of text.It's not obligatory but it's quite recomended.

                  This is how you spell 'piece'.

                                  I think we should start all new sentences with a capital (as opposed to a capitol LOL)

                                      all sentences should end with a capitaL.

                                          HUH? I don't get the two spaces after a period thing.

                                                  I agree, I don't know where that one came from. Not to mention that it's a full stop in English, only the Americans call it a period.

                                                          It's about computer interpretation when typing, one space after a comma or semi colon, two spaces after a full stop. When actually writing (do people do that anymore?) it's about having a pause in speech/thought so a space aftewards is the natural way to follow the text.
