We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.
Wine is actually very much the cheap alternative to beer if you want to get the most bang for your buck, you can get two bottles in the supermarket for a tenner and if that's not enough to knock you on your rear end I don't know what is, and it's still the case if you splash out for 7/8 quid bottles which aren't bad. Give over with this authentocrat nonsense.

Love a soft roll with square and two tattie scones on it. Bit of ketchup.

It's because letters of uniform width look cramped in a paragraph without double spacing after the full stop.

Compare
pre:
The apéritif was introduced in France in 1846 when a French
chemist, Joseph Dubonnet, created his eponymous wine-based drink
as a means of delivering malaria-fighting quinine. The medicine was
a bitter brew, so he developed a formula of herbs and spices to mask
quinine's sharp flavor, and it worked so well that the recipe has
remained well-guarded ever since. French Foreign Legion soldiers
made use of it in mosquito-infested Northern Africa.

Now everyone uses variable width fonts it's no longer needed, but like correct whitespace use and programming, people love dumb nerd fights about it.

e: Preserve space looks bad lol, but try it out in a monospaced font in notepad

Definitely goon brain. I was just preparing something similar but luckily checked the rest of the thread before doing it.
I learned to type back in the days of the old machines where every letter was the same width so 'i' took up as much space as 'w' or 'm'. Double space at the start of a new sentence just made it look better.

Yeah I think this comes the closest

Except in the context of having an aperitif with it, where it's not meant as anything anywhere close to a main meal, it's just something you have before dinner as a sort of social thing

But you can also have a more hefty picada so it depends on context

Is it like 'pinchos'?

I suppose the obvious question (so obvious that it's only just occurred to me despite working with this stuff every day :v:) is if I'm working in a format that still uses monospaced fonts, like writing the plain English instructions at the top of a piece of code that will be viewed in a code editor, would you still use double spaces?

I know everyone else stopped using them for essays and books and reports when we stopped using typewriters, but this is still as it would appear typewritten.

I guess it's only just occurred to me because most of that is one sentence per paragraph, like "Bit 4 controls the motor direction, 0 is clockwise, 1 is anticlockwise." or something, because it's simple direct instructions rather than full documentation.

It was posted on Facebook as a clue a few hours back (it's app based, so you get the question then a ten second countdown), but it doesn't matter anyway - the answer was honey, because the picture he posted was massively miscoloured compared to what came through on the app.
