Writing tip: Type one space after a full stop


After the full stop at the end of a sentence, type one space. Not two.
 
One space looks right and feels right and is right.
In the olden days, when typewriters ruled, people were trained to type two spaces after a full stop. That looked right on a typewritten document, but it looks wrong on anything you write electronically.
 
Some people still type two spaces and advise colleagues to do the same. Don't let this obsolete habit persist.

News: We are pooped!


Dem bones is pretty creaky this week at Contented HQ. And no wonder: see what we've achieved in the last couple of months.
  • New mobile-friendly web site and online shop: the old theme had passed its best before date. We are still fine-tuning things (as you do). You'll tell us if you find any glitches, won't you?
  • New learning management system (LMS): now compatible with all modern browsers, and any caching issues are gone, just like magic.
  • LMS integrates with our shop: Buy online and get your course login emails automatically. Wait no more.
  • New ebook: Business Writing Plus. Every office needs this mighty handbook. Update your communication skills for the digital workplace. 
  • Updated ebooks: Write Me a Web Page, Elsie! and Global English for Global Business.
  • Rachel went to PLAIN 2013 in Vancouver to collect facts, network, and impart esoteric literary insights.

Be strong, be safe, be useful.
