It's to prevent confusion with internal abbreviations where the dot is to be followed by a single space, for example "Mr." or "Dr.", especially because those very common abbreviations are almost always followed by a capital letter. This confusion is mentioned in the section on how computers deal with the distinction but should also be featured in the "Controversy" and "Effects on Readability and Legibility" sections. 68.196.3.202 ( talk) 16:44, 25 January 2020 (UTC)captcrisis
The "en space" or "en quad" is in my recollection the standard word space, and the "em space" or "em quad" is the typical sentence space, which is backwards from the page text. Can someone corroborate or rebut this? 41.80.175.9 ( talk) 12:23, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
A few sentences are not sourced. And the "Controversy" section may be removed and its content moved elsewhere? A455bcd9 ( talk) 11:21, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
There's a tag on the controversy section saying the negative information should be integrated into the rest of the article, but it seems to me it does a fine job of covering the controversy neutrally. I think the tag should be removed. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 13:55, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
