Nothing is. You do you, if you are the only one seeing your text and want to have fun double spacing, go ahead. Knock yourself out, break that space bar. But as soon as you are writing for publishing or for others you'll have your text immediately manhandled, criticized and corrected. And it will all be with those same subjective opinions that are going to determine the validity and worth of your writing. I've seen editors throw away pitches because of the double space thing, “It is in the guidelines, if they won't read and respect the submission guidelines then they are not worth my time.”

I've seen it go the other way in a professional setting. One place I worked you couldn't put documents out to clients with single. One of the jr. analysts even redid templates once for the single method and the senior management squashed it. This was 5 years ago. A couple others, people put things out both ways.

.

I believe you though.

Exactly my point. Subjective opinions shape the material world. Subjectivity is the source of reality.

Yeah man. Some people like it. Some don't. So it's a shame this otherwise fantastic tool shuts that out.
