All known Banach spaces have an infinite-dimensional separable quotient and so do all nonnormable Fréchet spaces, although the general question for Banach spaces is still open. A properly separable topological vector space is defined, in such a way that separable and properly separable are equivalent for an infinite-dimensional complete metrisable space. The main result of this paper is that the strict inductive limit of a sequence of non-normable Fréchet spaces has a properly separable quotient.
