One space or two...........

[Worthy4England]

there is no "correct" or not correct in this instance. The first (and over-riding/trumping) rule of writing or typing is surely readability.

the two-space habit is from typewriting - and fixed-width fonts.

with handwriting - do you leave one space or two? answer - neither - you leave whatever gap is appropriate and separates your sentences to make your prose readable.
with the staggering array of fonts out there for word-processors - some - not all - maybe not even many - but "some" - will be more readable with two spaces after a full-stop.

No amount of gap seems to help the readability of my scrawl, appropriate or not.

You said that leaving whatever gap was appropriate, separates your sentences to make your prose readable - check.

I'm saying with my handwriting, the size of the gap weighs little upon its readability.

It's really not that difficult.

nope - still not getting it... just looks like an unreadable scrawl to me..

(you see - you wrote that the spaces made no difference to your unreadable scrawl...)
