+This declaration (from plain @TeX{}) causes @LaTeX{} to treat
+intersentence spacing the same as interword spacing.  In justifying the
+text in a line some typographic traditions, including that of English,
+prefer to adjust the space between sentences (or after other punctuation
+marks) more than the space between words.  Following this declaration,

-By default @TeX{} puts a larger space between sentences than between

 In contrast, putting @code{\@@} on the right of a period tells @TeX{}
 that the period does not end the sentence.  In the example
- at domain.hid strings A, B (etc.\@@) are different}, @TeX{} will put
+ at code{reserved words (if, then, etc.\@@) are different}, @TeX{} will put
 interword space after the closing parenthesis (note that @code{\@@} is
 before the parenthesis).
