Colon (punctuation) (English Wikipedia)

Paterson, Derek (19 November 2009). "How many spaces after a colon?". Absolute Write forums. Post 4. Archived from the original on 27 September 2013. Retrieved 4 November 2012. Back in the typewriter day, when fading ink ribbons could result in commas being mistaken for periods and vice versa, typists were taught to insert 2 spaces after the period to differentiate between the two. The same happened with colons and semicolons: 2 spaces were left after a colon; 1 space after a semicolon.
