I still do the two space thing. I thought that most word processors remove them, anyway. Life is too short to worry about this, though I'm aware that many Gen Z's and millennials sneer at we boomers over this. Tough nougies . I think it's a remnant from ye olde typesetting, where sentences would be separated by an m-dash, while words were separated by an n-dash. | |||

SK, the reason justified type is perfectly readable in printed material and hard to read in a manuscript is because in printed material the typesetter has made adjustments in the letter spacing that computers do not make. Again an example of how design judgement can achieve what a computer on its own cannot.

Yes, that explains it!! I hate the automated spacing created by computerized right-justifying. Re Nina's comment:
I am pretty tired of the generational sneering in general. Sigh.
