The double space after a period is a relic of the typewriter era when monospaced fonts required extra spacing for readability. However, in modern writing, especially with proportional fonts, a single space is now the standard. Most style guides, including APA, MLA, Chicago, and AP, recommend using a single space after a period. Microsoft Word and Google Docs even flag double spaces as errors. That said, some people still prefer double spacing out of habit or personal preference. If you’re writing for a specific audience, it’s always best to check their preferred formatting rules. #GrammarLesson #WritingTips #GrammarRules #SpacingMatters #EnglishWriting #PunctuationRules #writing #MLA #WritingMistakes #LearnGrammar #GrammarHelp #GrammarCheck #EnglishTeacher #EditingTips #GrammarNerd #Proofreading #SingleSpace #WritingSkills

Reminder- #Then is not one of the FANBOYS conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) and does not traditionally join two independent clauses. However, then can sometimes function like a #coordinatingconjunction when it links two complete thoughts (#independentclauses). #Grammar often has exceptions and gray areas. Then doesn’t behave like a #fanboys conjunction, but its role in linking sentences or ideas can still require a comma. So use the “complete sentence test” when in doubt. “then” as a conjunction: #EnglishGrammar #GrammarLesson #ESLLesson #EnglishAsASecondLanguage #ELLStrategies #WritingTips #GrammarRules #LearnEnglish #CommasMatter #PunctuationTips #CommonMistakes #WritingSkills #EnglishWriting #ESLGrammar #GrammarHelp #TeachingGrammar #MiddleSchoolELA #EnglishTeacher #LanguageLearning
