Extra space between sentences

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Extra space between sentences

Post by Rayah Raouf »

If a sentence has an extra space between them would this be considered a grammatical error?
The extra space isn't between the words as this thread mentions which I know are a grammatical error/typo. viewtopic.php?f=72&t=151193&p=1455153&h ... e#p1455153

As an example:
I like reading books.__It is fun.
(I had to put an underscore as the double space would not show in the preview)

Thank you. Sorry to bring this up again, but I have noticed many books do this occasionally. Usually to 'justify' the sentence to fit the space. Similar to how you use the 'justify' option on Microsoft Word. I presume it would be okay in that case?
Of course, if it was intentional, that is a different case and should be marked as an error. (Although, would it be a counted or an uncounted error?)

Sorry again! Just want to be sure.
