Good afternoon Quote from Derzhavin according to the edition of Y. Grot: “Therefore, I think, more, and not for anything else, the odes of Pindar and Horace have come down to us, that sparks of reverence and instruction for kings shine in the first, and in the second, with the sweetness of life , rules of wisdom". What do you think: merged spelling _for this reason_ and separate _for what else_ is it correct? Or is it necessary in both cases to write together? And why? Thank you.
The correctness of spelling can be argued from the point of view of the rules of 1956 (i.e., it can be argued that today separate spelling Why is not correct in the given context). At the same time, the logical grounds for writing the combination why else with a space, of course, there is: in the indicated combination Why another has a meaning ("for some other reason") that is different from the adverb Why("for what reason").
Consolidated spelling therefore complies with modern spelling standards.
| Question #301389 | ||
How to write correctly in texts for people: "individual" or "individual" or something else? We write legal texts, where this definition is often found. Sometimes even in the headlines: for example, "Bankruptcy of an individual: who is it suitable for." It seems that "natural person" sounds somehow unnatural: no one talks like that anymore.
The answer of the reference service of the Russian language
Word natural person recorded by the Russian Spelling Dictionary, ed. V. V. Lopatina and O. E. Ivanova 2012, reduction physical face(with a space after the period) follows the rules, so both options are possible in written speech.

How to remove spaces between words?
The need to remove spaces appears when:

- it is necessary to replace the space with another character (for example, a dash)
The second option is more related to creating a site, when you need to write a human-readable address in the URL. You don't have to look far for an example. Just look at the address of this page. All words in the URL name are connected with a hyphen, not a space. Such an address looks much more attractive in the eyes of search engines.
The case when you need remove spaces due to the fact that they are repeated side by side, it is most often found in copywriting. Double spaces occur unintentionally. Such errors are born in the process of typing by a copywriter. The spell checker in Text will help you detect double spaces. Well, if you work using "Space +", then you will not need this, because:
One of the functions of the program is the automatic removal of double spaces.

The program is not limited to double spaces. Filling in the gaps(double, triple, and so on) is only one of its sides. "Space +" will not only delete extra spaces, but also fulfill in some sense " filling in the gaps' will add them where needed.
How to put a space?
- Is put space before opening bracket or quotation mark.
- A space is placed after a closing quote or parenthesis.
- Space between characters put like this: after a comma, after a period, after an exclamation or question mark.
The latter can be generalized and reduced to one short rule:
They put a space after the punctuation mark, but before it - no!

However, remove extra spaces the Space+ service will help you. And the question is how to put a space next to punctuation marks, you will also stop worrying.

Put a space after period, comma, colon, semicolon, exclamation point and question mark. Put a space after closing brackets and closing quotes, the program can also automatically.

In Russian, for many decades there has been a tradition not to beat off (that is, not to separate with a space) the percent sign from the last digit of the number to which it refers, in contrast to the designations of other units and similarly to the designation of degrees, minutes and seconds. This tradition is reflected in the handbook M. V. Schulmeister(1967):
Percent sign (%) applies only after numbers, you can dial 5%, but you can’t five%. As an exception, the percent sign without numbers can be used in the headings of tables and outputs (in %). The percent sign is never beaten off from the numbers to which it refers, it is beaten off from the text with the usual interword space. If the sign refers to several numbers in the enumeration, it is put only with the last number, for example, in 5, 7, 10 and 15%, and not in 5%, 7%, 10% and 15%. The same applies to the sometimes used sign ‰ (ppm).
- Shulmeister M.V. Manual set. - M .: "Book", 1967. - S. 117, second paragraph from the bottom.
Probably, this tradition is explained by the fact that the percentage can be considered not as a unit of measure, but as a mathematical sign denoting a hundredth, i.e. the designations “1%”, “0.01”, “10 -2”, “0.00 (9)" is just a different notation of the same number.
In 1982, GOST 8.417-81 was put into effect, according to which the percent sign should be written according to the same rules as the designations of other units, that is, a space should be left between the last digit of the number and the unit designation. However, an exception was made for the notation for degrees, minutes, and seconds.
A space should be left between the last digit of the number and the unit symbol.
GOST 8.417-81. Units of physical quantities. Official publication. - P. 18, first paragraph from above.
The rule introduced by GOST 8.417-81 did not become generally recognized in Soviet times. After the introduction of this GOST, reference books by V. A. Vigdorchik (1985) and P. G. Gilenson (1988) were published, in which it was still recommended to adhere to the traditional dialing rules and not to beat off the percent sign:
The percent signs (%), degrees (°), minutes (′), seconds (″) cannot be beaten off from the figure to which they refer (Fig. 5.25). From the numbers following them, these characters are beaten off by 2 p. This beat does not change when the line is turned off.
5%; 36°; 2'; 31″; 16° 15' 3".
Rice. 5.25. Set of percent, degree, minute and second signs
- Vigdorchik V. A. Manual set. Directory. - M .: "Book", 1985. - S. 63, third paragraph from the bottom
In particular, in the following editions, the percent sign is not beaten off:
- Great Soviet Encyclopedia / Ch. ed. A. M. Prokhorov. - 3rd ed., 1975.
- Space Physics: Little Encyclopedia / Ed.: R. A. Sunyaev (Editor-in-Chief) and others - 2nd ed., revised. and additional - M.: Sov. encyclopedia, 1986. - 783 p., ill. - (Bib. series).
- Soviet Encyclopedic Dictionary / Ch. ed. A. M. Prokhorov; editorial board: A. A. Gusev and others - 4th ed. - M.: Sov. encyclopedia, 1987. - 1660 p., ill.
- Polytechnic Dictionary. Editorial: A. Yu. Ishlinsky (editor-in-chief) and others - 3rd ed., revised. and additional - M.: Soviet encyclopedia, 1989.- 656 p., ill. ISBN 5-85270-003-7.
6.1.7. The combination of numbers with the notation of physical quantities Physical designations. values cannot be torn off from the digital form of the values of these quantities, i.e., cannot be transferred to the next line. The last digit of the number is beaten off from the designation of the unit by 2 p., Including from the designations ° C and%, except for special. characters raised to the top line of the font (…°, …′, …″), which are required to be written together with the last digit. For example:
- Publisher's and Author's Handbook. Editorial and publishing design of the publication. - M .: "Olympus", 1998. - S. 111, first paragraph from above.
However, A. E. Milchin's reference book is somewhat inconsistent. If section 6.1.7 of the handbook requires the percentage sign to be beaten off by two points, then section 6.4.2 already talks about beating the half pin:
6.4.2. Signs №, %, §, ° in the text
Set rules. Signs №,%, § beat off the numbers on the half pin.<...>
- Milchin A. E., Cheltsova L. K. Publisher's and Author's Handbook. Editorial and publishing design of the publication. - M .: "Olimp", 1998. - S. 116, 117.
At present, the percentage sign rule is not generally accepted. Until now, many Russian publishing houses do not follow the recommendations of GOST 8.417-2002 (replacing GOST 8.417-81) and still adhere to traditional typing rules, that is, according to their internal technical rules, when typing, the percent sign is not separated from the previous number.
The signs of percent (%) and ppm (‰) are used only with the numbers related to them, from which no break is made.
- Gilenson P. G. Reference book of artistic and technical editors. - M .: "Book", 1988.
In Runet, judging by the prevailing spelling, the de facto rule can be considered a language norm, according to which the percent sign should be distinguished from the designations of other units and written together with a numerical value.
