Oh. So the argument between one and two spaces is decided by a Hare? Haha.
Philosophy humor. Y'know Hare is a prescriptivist that thinks that true
statements are either descriptive or emotive. If the prescriptive rule is
that there is one space and the descriptivists argue there are two, then how
many spaces will an emotivist use? ...Oh never mind. That's prescriptivism,
or something.
