Word-Spacing

1000 CE
40 Generations Ago

Spaces between words started circa 1000 CE because those copying texts found it easier and faster to copy if they introduced spaces between words. The 1215 Magna Carta is a good example of this quality of writing which included word-spacing, uppercase, and lowercase, but no punctuation, nor paragraphs. 

And now, a premium bonus.

For thousands of years, writing had very little grammar. Grammar helps, and you should respect grammar, but serve the reader first.
Subject: Journalism.
Good writing usually follows grammar, and good journalism depends on that discipline. But the real test is whether the reader understands the message clearly. Rules help. Communication is the point. Think well by treating grammar as a powerful guide, while keeping the needs of the reader ahead of perfection for its own sake.
