I'm not sure about two spaces between sentences; this seems to be valid in English although it is not in most other languages. My personal opinion is that it is a waste of space ;-) Note also that double spaces are getting obsoleted because HTML renders those as a single space anyway. I am fairly sure that having a space before an exclamation mark (or any other punctuation) as in both examples above is _not_ correct. Cheers, FJP
