I tend to think of "and" as the pause in flow that denotes the end of a list.

I detest Courier, but if you're a screenplay writer (which I'm guessing underEJ is) that is the industry standard - just the way things are done.

Really? Very interesting. I knew there was strict formatting and all or a screenplay is never looked at but tossed in the trash. I didn't know it extended to the font. I wonder if it has to do with how the entire page is formatted too? What is "under EJ?"

I naturally do two spaces all the time because that's how I learned to type, but I acknowledge that it's really not correct at all. |

Maybe actors have trouble doing a Helvetica or Garamond accent.

As a westerner, I also want two spaces because that's our culture. We're used to lots of open space out here. You easterners can cram all your words into a little space if you want, but out here we're all about big skies and wide-open sentence construction.
