http://www.slate.com/articles/technology...aders.html

from the article Wrote:Typing two spaces after a period is totally, completely, utterly, and inarguably wrong.

No I definitely do it and I'm fairly certain I was taught to do so at some point in my dim past. The author goes on to say leaving two spaces between sentences is very wide spread and that the folks who do it tend to feel righteous about it.

Just wondering what people here do and how they feel about it. In particular, I wonder if anyone else who offends the gods of sentence spacing as I do can recall where they learned to do so.
