Thanks so much for letting us know about this. I’ve been typing this way for about 14 years so it’ll be a struggle to change, but I’ll try!

I’m one of those two-spacers as well. But in my defense, I learned to type on an electric typewriter, not a word-processor. So, I will two-space until I can no longer type. I can’t help it! In Blogger, however, I notice that they take the extra spaces out automatically. But really, I can’t be bothered to worry about it.

I’m still not drinking your Kool-Aid.

I can’t help it man. I learned in high school before the internet was born. I also still use a comma before “and” when grouping three or more objects. (Red, blue, and green.) I still spell “judgement” that way. (Hey, you stupid firefox red line. It’s correct. Look it up on Dr. Dic.) I can’t help it. I’m old school. SO old school in fact, I can’t bring myself to type “skool” instead.

Thank you! I have been fighting the two-spaces-after-a-period menace for about four years now, and no one ever believes me that it is totally unnecessary, and stylistically out of date.
