	Encyclopedia: Space (punctuation)
		A dash is a punctuation mark, and is not to be confused with the hyphen, which is shorter, and which has quite different uses.
		Punctuation marks are written symbols that do not correspond to either phonemes (sounds) of a spoken language nor to lexemes (words and phrases) of a written language, but which serve to organize or clarify written language.
		Punctuation spaces are exactly the same as en-spaces, except that the width of a punctuation space is usually that of a comma or period (it does depend on each font maker to some extent).

		Spaces were not used to separate words until roughly 600 (additional info and facts about 600) –800 AD.
		Other kinds of spaces exist for special uses: for example an em dash (additional info and facts about em dash) can optionally be surrounded with a so-called hair space, Unicode character 8202, or U+200A.
		Unfortunately, very few user agent (additional info and facts about user agent) s are able to render a hair space correctly: in most cases the result is an unwanted symbol or a question mark on the screen (depending on the font (A specific size and style of type within a type family)).

		Scholarship on Dickinson's punctuation limits itself in two key ways: by defining punctuation along conventional, bibliographic lines, and by presenting it as an effect on the eye or the ear, but not on both at the same time.
		Brita Lindberg also characterizes Dickinson's punctuation along conventional lines, finding that although Dickinson's "marks" vary greatly in slant and position, they may be "profitably reduce[d to] the ones adopted by the Harvard edition: the question mark, the exclamation point, the period, the comma, and the dash" (354).
		Nevertheless, they display two key problems: punctuation is implied as a separate category from space; and the experiences of the eye and ear -- although validly seen as simultaneous and interrelated -- are discussed primarily as effects of "letters" and not of space, lineation, and other forms of punctuation.

		Space between words is a segmental unit: like the punctuation marks, it occupies the whole of one position in linear sequence.
		We have emphasised that punctuation cannot be regarded as a means of representing the prosodic properties of utterances, but there is no doubt that there is some significant degree of correlation between the use of delimiting commas and the likelihood that the constituent concerned would be set apart prosodically in speech.
		Punctuation outside the parentheses depends on the requirements of the containing sentence: it is the same as it would be if the parenthesised element were omitted.

	Why 1 space after sentence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Because they are monospaced, you need to type two spaces after periods to separate one sentence from the next.
		Thus the single space between sentences is enough to separate them visually, and two spaces creates a disturbing gap.
