I believe that is right, but who decided to drop the second space when
it was a word processor? Doesn't make sense to me.
Somebody post Wang I suppose. Wang was my first exposure to word

Then AppleWriter.
Then P-Edit which became WordPerfect.
Then Word.

Stop worrying about typeface/font. Just remember:

using computers and it was single space. I was *told* that on
typewriters it was two spaces.
