This code shows how I am getting the default spacing between the words from 
itemize, description, and the spacing between the roman numeral and the section 
title. I tried figuring out how to get the spacing for all of these to be set 
to a single space worth but it seems to not be possible with `distance`, 
because it asks for a dimension. How can I get a `\space`'s worth of spacing to 
be the default in descriptions, itemizations, and sections? for itemizations 
and descriptions the spacing seems to vary and I really don't like that. I 
would be thankful to know if there's a way to change the spacing.
