I agree. I actually knew someone who typed some work with no spaces after a new client complained about the cost and said something about being ripped off because of paying for spaces. The gal that did this was actually a past president of AAMT, years ago I might add. She took it on the chin, took the next few tapes home, and returned a few reports with no spaces, no line spacing, etc. The office manager "flipped her lid" and went nutso on her. Hmmm, my friend said, I don't do anything I don't get paid for. End of story, end of a headache account. I still smile when I think of that story. That would be like a surgeon saying, "Oh, I don't get paid for the stapling your wound shut, so I had the nurse use the masking tape." Single spacing after a period makes me crazy too. Do the math. It just to rip us off a bit. Think about how many spaces are saved over thousands and thousands of transcribed lines with single spacing after periods, and know if you are doing that you are undermining the profession and everyone in it. Quit being stupid. If your employer disagrees, tell him/her to "have at it" themselves.
