urgent! spaces after period.

<p>Hi, i'm about 50 letters over my limit for the essays, and i was wondering if it would hurt if i decrease the two spaces after each period to one space. Anyone know if i should do this?</p>

<p>i thought you are supposed to only have 1 space after the period?</p>

<p>lol if 2 is the usual way then i just messed up like all my apps</p>

<p>I think one space after the period is actually technically more correct now than two... but no one is really like to notice anyway.</p>

<p>How about spaces after colons?</p>

<p>haha. this thread is so funny. 1, 2, i don't think they're gonna scrutinize your spaces.</p>

<p>although virtuouso, i thought it was fairly standard to space after a semi colon/colon?</p>

<p>Hmmmm, why don't you just take out words like 'that' or shorten a few sentences?</p>

<p>I think the presentation of the essay is important as well. :D</p>

<p>well, as a matter of fact, when i reduced the spaces to 1, i got exactly 4900 letters.
lol
think ill stick with 1...thanks alot!</p>

<p>Did you guys put a line space between paragraphs or did you guys indent? If you indented, how did you indent the first paragraph?</p>

<p>I put a line space between paragraphs.</p>

<p>Me too.</p>

<p>I just submitted. :) Feels good, but everything is out of my control now. I can just see that rejection/waitlist letter coming in early April.</p>
