Then why do you make all books fully-justified? Self loathing? Misanthropy?

*No I learned this in 8th grade. Wikipedia confirmed what I'd known long ago.

Is this the converse of the floating mystery asterisk?

You need to read the text above to find the item to which the footnote refers.

I avoid it by using the following format for dates: The Fourteenth Day Of January in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Eleven.

The comma after the year suggest a mental pause in the flow of the sentence that I find unnecessary, regardless of what Melt Banana says about it. This is the first and will be the last time I part with Melt Banana on such issues.

Look, you've already paused once for the comma after the date, so why not again? It's like 4/4 time--much easier. When you throw in some funky meter like 9/8 it just gets confusing.

I don't believe there is any controversy that sentence fragments remain unacceptable.

I'd like my reader to pause in the exact places where Alan Rickman has called for one.

Usually I would defer to you on all things relating to the written word (other than the words written). In this, case, however, ncs is right. One space is more elegant; two spaces are unnecessary.

I note that there is a font that bears my last name (the pre-marriage one) as homage to a family member so I have special expertise in this area.

I am a 12.5 in Nikes, an 11.5 in Mizunos and an 11 in dress shoes.

But I'm a 10 in L.L. Bean Gumshoes?

I wonder if L.L. Bean has stayed true to sizing from 30 years ago, but athletic shoe companies have vanity sized their shoes?

I wonder if you're the whitest guy I know. L.L. Bean Gumshoes?

I just checked an email from an actual European and it reads, in part, "
Further to your instructions of 7 December 2010,"

a comma after the year anyways
