english grammar question. - GoFuckYourself.com

scottybuzz · 11-11-2006, 05:22 PM

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.

goodnight gfy!

but that was actully a serious question.

MandyBlake · 11-11-2006, 05:24 PM

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.

They wrote that long before computers

But true, it is for seperate the words

Thumbler · 11-11-2006, 06:28 PM

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

Dirty Dane · 11-11-2006, 06:30 PM

all sentences should end with a capitaL.

polish_aristocrat · 11-11-2006, 06:44 PM

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.

scottybuzz · 11-12-2006, 02:13 AM

huh? i thought it was only one space after a full stop!

rigrunner · 11-12-2006, 03:07 AM

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.

AsianRain · 11-12-2006, 06:37 AM

Readability - whether writing or typing, a space allows the mind to pause between sentences and separate items.

reynold · 11-12-2006, 06:43 AM

I guess it's formal writing. Single space for comma (,) and double space for period (.).

shekinah · 11-15-2006, 05:29 AM

Happens when the person still thinks or wants to have a pause while writing.

stef_girls18 · 11-15-2006, 05:31 AM

I never understood some of the grammar rules

luvlyn · 11-15-2006, 05:39 AM

it helps for proper reading!

Klen · 11-15-2006, 05:44 AM

It normal thing in english grammar.Some people write without space and with demand from where he is it.Plus microsoft office automaticly add space during spell check.

Ace_luffy · 11-15-2006, 05:47 AM

that's normal for english grammer

greygoose · 11-15-2006, 05:48 AM

I think it kind of works as a pause after a sentence. Like this.

notabook · 11-15-2006, 05:50 AM

single space after a period/full stop is fine. It really doesn't make much of a difference. See? It really don't lol.

Sarah_Jayne · 11-15-2006, 06:26 AM

I leave two spaces after a period. That is because that is how I was taught to do it in typing class in school.

ADL Colin · 11-15-2006, 08:15 AM

A sentence should always end with ellipses ...

4Man · 11-15-2006, 09:59 AM

Just do it how you want

E$_manager · 11-15-2006, 10:39 AM

No, i never thought it is a good idea.
Perception is better the way we write it now.
