What a colossal waste of time and energy... I was suspect of the article as I was reading it, and then came across this line to confirm my suspicion:
"Is this arbitrary? Sure it is."
Two spaces are clearly acceptable per the MLA by the writers own admission. He just prefers single space. So he goes on a self-important rant about how wrong those who use two spaces are, and how they should become literary outcasts. Now, user is in semi-crisis because of this dumb ass and his lame opinion.
I believe Farhad Mangoo is an asshole, and anyone who doesn't is living in the past.
Is this an arbitrary opinion?
Sure it is.
