If you really wish it, then do not use TeX but M$ Word or OpenOffice. M$ Word automatically inserts nonbreakable spaces at some points in the text written in Czech. As far as grammer is concerned, it is correct. However, U+00a0 is fixed width. If you look at the output, the nonbreakable spaces are too wide on some lines and too thin on other lines. I cannot imagine anything uglier.
