I agree. But I know too little about English grammar and typographic rules

       [that's what an editor does]

           after a period in a sentence there should be 2 spaces even though
> these machines default to only 1;

In HTML double or more spaces becomes a single space. See Mark's reply to
this list. It is a lot of work to add the code '&nbsp;' behind every period.

       [I know; don't worry about this; the reason for the double space was
to make it easier to read -
         as commas & periods could be confused so the extra space allowed
the eye to catch the end of the sentence easier;
             but these machines, I think, started deleting that extra space
in their beginning days of the 0s & 1s]

           and double quotes are for conversations - single quotes - or in

I'll try to remember this.

       [seems as if this is same as your native language]

Thank you.
Brian Barker (many thanks to him) has proofread the whole site and sent it
to me private.

   [I thought about doing so, then thought the list members might have
further thoughts  ;-) ]

I will use his suggestions together with yours.
It will take some time to code it as I prefer hand coding.

   [sounds good]

Perhaps because the settings of of my e-mail reader I did not see the film.
Was displayed as '[Image: display film]'.
