WORD SPACING - WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? (RATINGS: PG)

Let us take this sentence, an idiom,

ORIGINAL: "PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD"


iEXPANDED:  "PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD IN ANY PLANET INCLUDING URANUS"

The original adage could be traced and credited to an author and a peer of Charles Dickens, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, dating back to 1839. 


This metonymic figure of speech stresses the use of writing as a communication medium and/or advocates independent press as a mean to address issues compared to violence.

Catering to the current times, let us change the above idiom to the following: 

"PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE GUN IN ANY PLANET INCLUDING URANUS"
