College term papers generally are double-spaced. Internet printouts tend to be single spaced. Sure you're not taking that into account?
Hm. Good point. I went to a uni whose administration thought writing was very important. Thus single space. Last time I was asked to double space was high school.
????? The purpose of double-spacing is to allow for editors' notes and proofreaders' marks. I.e. double-spaced material = material intended for eventual publication.
Our high school newspaper required triple-spacing. Whether that was a normal journalistic practice or peculiar to that high school (and/or its printer) I don't know...
