We had a typing class back in high school and it was SOP to have two spaces between sentences. I still put two spaces though most word processors edit the extra space. I guess it’s just a hard habit to break.

Good to know. Like Shrek, I still put 2 spaces after a period because that’s what i learned in typing class a million years ago. I still can’t type.

Ditto. I can’t help it. Always two spaces between sentences. The typewriter demanded such system. Didn’t even notice it now automatically becomes one space anyway after it gets posted.
