Pretty much. A couple of others that I can think of: American typography (typographical convention) puts two spaces after the punctuation that ends a sentence, European typography tends to use only one[1]. American typography puts trailing punctuation inside the quotation mark, "like this," whereas European typography puts it outside, "like that". Yet another is that American typography uses "double quotation marks" for quotations, while European tends to use `single quotation marks'.[2] [1] This is why Emacs has the sentence-end-double-space variable. [2] Note the European style of sentence terminating punctuation. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE32zchgl+vIlSVSNkRAtY0AKCggRW1y7ry5EUkYSGTF2E6K3KuwQCgmUlC 3XepCxMvcGJsM9kNDGpKdEo= =nPnk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete.
