Why would you want to?
And I was taught - many moons ago - that after a full stop one always has two spaces!!...always found errors, sometimes trivial, like two spaces following a full-stop. ...
That's what I was taught too. But I learned my stuff in the typewriter age. Things are different now, with word processors that can tweak kerning and line layout. Apparently the current publishing convention is one space. It's progress. We also should not use a space to separate paras; we should indent the first line. I find that hard to accept, but there it is.And I was taught - many moons ago - that after a full stop one always has two spaces!!

Thanks, Ivar. I appreciate your offer and willingness to help. Your website gets a plug in my book, BTW.There is no easy way of doing this... I assume you would like to delete some posts, but not all? Could you PM me a list of posts and I can do it for you... would that work?
Before taking the nuclear option of a total delete, I want to hear back from Amazon exactly what they object to.
BobM, KDP's content guidelines include the statement "We will not accept content that is freely available on the web unless you are the copyright owner of that content." (my emphasis). As you are the copyright owner of your own posts to this Forum, you should be able to include that content in your book - it would pay to make this point to them if you haven't already. Their plagiarism-detection software won't necessarily detect that you are the author of this supposedly "freely available" content, but will have generated a report which they can check if you point it out. Many schools and universities have similar software which students are required to pass their writing through before or on submission.
Yes you do. Let me know how I can help when Amazon has gotten back to you on this..BTW, I also assume I own copyright to my content posted in Ivar's forum. Is that definitely the case? The Terms and Conditions are silent on copyright. As a newbie publisher, I have found that copyright, 'fair use' etc is a bit of a minefield.
The great thing about the digital revolution is that it's made self-publishing a lot more accessible.
The bad thing about the digital revolution is that it's made self-publishing a lot more accessible. The problem with much self-published writing is that it's also self-edited. Do not ignore or underestimate the value of a good editor.
