Perhaps you should follow the thread.  Or even *read* what you are quoting.
They are not criticizing her for having one space between sentences, they are
criticizing her for having NO spaces between sentences.Like this.I'd suggest
that the serious help you need is a good pair of glasses.  I don't think that
is within Dr. Kevorkian's expertise, but I'd welcome you to consult with him.
I'm not much for flame wars, but when they make it *so* easy......
