    Actually, English spacing is discouraged in more recent texts; it
was encouraged during the late 19th century up until the late 20th
century according to ye great wikipedia [1], but I've read several
other articles in the past decade that suggest that the English
spacing convention be completely abolished.
    FWIW, I'd just follow surrounding style like style(9) suggests. No
reason for fighting over an extra byte per sentence in a source file
(unless you consider how much added bandwidth / disk space those
precious bytes can consume :)...).
Thanks,
