Hm. Good point. I went to a uni whose administration thought writing
was very
important. Thus single space. Last time I was asked to double space
was high
school.
????? The purpose of double-spacing is to
allow for editors' notes and proofreaders' marks.
I.e. double-spaced material = material intended for
eventual publication.
Our high school newspaper required triple-spacing.
Whether that was a normal journalistic practice or
peculiar to that high school (and/or its printer) I
don't know...
