Did I mention that is one of my gripes with
basic HTML?  I find that you have to use the
&nbsp; tag if you want the double space after
the period.

However, I now wonder if educators are even
teaching the double space rule, which I learned
in junior high school, but yet I don't recall
it being taught in high school.  now it seems
like it is beginning to act like a open ended
rule which you can use either way.


BTW, looking back at my text block, I think I
missed two commas.
