?Q Are copyrights enforceable



Yes , if its convenient to a regulating govt . Its about cost , if its too expensive to regulate , then govt will fail to regulate . When govt is rich , it forces us to do business with govt , so we must have a legal copy of WXP . But the fall is amplified , as govt losses power , it can happen in just a few short years . No copyrights nor patents will be enforceable , because govt is desperate merely to enforce the more important primary tax revenues ..

Q. Where did you learn to punctuate like that?

Sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.

Still, though, while I've brought it up, who can tell me from where this practice of leading punctuation marks with spaces comes? It seems to be more and more common laely and, in addition to looking stupid, reduces readability.

I've noticed it too. It really shines when you combine it with double-spacing, a semi-random left-hand margin, and wrapping at about 40 columns. WebTV with a broken keyboard?

Well, some languages, including French, prescribe it for punctuation marks consisting of two parts, i.e. '!' and '?'. And then of course, there's always ye olde typo-by-transposition, getting two characters the wrong way round if typed one very fast after the other.

I didn't know that and I do seem to observe two-part marks more commonly preceeded with spaces. This seems, however, to best apply to non Americans. (Those who speak three languages are called tri-liguists, those who speak two languages are called bi-liguists, and those who speak only one language are called Americans.)

This seems to not be a likely explanation as the two-part marks are shifted so " !" and " ?" should therefore be transposed to " 1" and " /" respectively. Also, I don't observe corespondingly transposed spaces and words' last letters.

Thanks for responding!
