December 10, 201213 yr Hmm, in that case maybe it's just a silly American thing. But, let's pretend for the sake of argument that the two-space thing became standard for ending a sentence / transition to the next sentence. Do you think that could then become justification for getting rid of the uppercase letter at the beginning of the sentence?
December 10, 201213 yr Author Yes, that would work. People couldn't cope with it though, you know what they are like with change.
December 10, 201213 yr It would become standard after a while... To give a concrete example, here in Slovenia, some people don't know that the word for /desired, welcome/ is written like this: zaželen because EVERYONE says zaželjen and the latter form has always been frowned upon but I think that lately, things have changed a bit and so zaželjen is acceptable, too. SO BASICALLY, things can still change and people could accept a new manner of writing. It'd just take time.
December 11, 201213 yr Author You're more likely to get words evolving, but a whole system involving the set up of a sentence would take ages. And you would need a proper push for it and it's not something that is desperately needed so won't happen.
