If you are using a proportional spaced typeface (pretty well all

interferes with that and (marginally) reduces readability.

I'm gonna hafta differ with you on this one. It is nearly always easier
for a reader to apprehend the flow of the meaning of a paragraph when
sentences are subtly separated in way different than words are.


This has been measured and tested to the nth, by quite a lot of people over
a VERY long time. It just ain't so.
