FYI: modern English language uses single spaces, not double

[GoogleCodeExporter]

FYI,

The documentation comments in program use double space after period. The 
current modern English rules however use single space.

"No known U.S. or international style guide (for languages using a 
Latin-derived alphabet) currently prescribes the use of a double space after 
terminal punctuation in final or published work."

Some of the authorative sources include:

- CMS, The Chicago Manual of Style  
- APA Style, from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological 
Association.
- AP, Associated Press Stylebook
- American Sociological Association Style Guide
- The GPO Style Manual (U.S. Government Printing Office)
- MLA Style, Handbook for Writers of Research Papers

Tough.  That's how I learned it, and that's how I type.
