Or maybe 0.4 or 0.6, so that pairs of ambiguous spaces would add a sum distinct from the value of a single "definite" space?

I agree it is a non-trivial exercise.

Register or Login to view.Is there any metric where your results are drastically changed depending on whether or not you use ambiguous spaces? Other than the obvious of course, like word count and the frequency of the space character.
