Who here puts two spaces after every sentence?

Guess what? If you answered yes, you're wrong. I have seen some on these forums who act like they type better than others because at some point in their lives, someone taught them to type incorrectly. Seems pretty backwards to me, but you can decide for yourself if that attitude makes any sense. If you'd like to actually be informed, read more on the subject!

I don't know . but I know that some people put a space between the end of each sentence and the period . I know that Turbomonkey kid does it . It drives me crazy . I don't know why people do it .

 What kinda people do that?  I don't know what to say to this nonsense

Interesting.  I don't know if I can untrain myself at this point though.  See, I'm doing it RIGHT NOW!

I was totally going to give you a snarky response, but I realized you're right.  It drives me nuts when people do that.  
 
Also, it takes time for me to think up snarky responses.

I do.  If this is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

Well they taught that shit at school when I learned to use a word processor and I am too old to unlearn it now.  Live with it.

Assholes. That's who.

I do.  Suck it.
 
People take Slate seriously?

I used to before my supervisor for a school project told me using 2 spaces at the end of a sentence is an outdated process and 1 space would do just fine. I don't know which I should use now. I think I prefer 2 spaces because it makes things clearer/cleaner.

Why would anyone do that? That's stupid. Like inverting your controls.

" Well they taught that shit at school when I learned to use a word processor and I am too old to unlearn it now.  Live with it. "

I do it without thinking.  I don't think I've ever been a snarky asshole about it though, which is exactly what that article is doing.  

I was actually taught to use two spaces after each period, but I tossed that habit out years ago. It's good to know I was right to do so.

All that said, it is quite amusing to see people get so exasperated over some double spaces, but I suppose typography is a pretty important study. It's good to know there are people making decisions on a standardization of our typing skills.

Wow, can't say I was ever taught to use two spaces. Infact, I didn't even know that "rule" existed.

What kind of freak does that?

You know what's worse than seeing people type with two spaces between sentences? One that increases the space by one every time.  I mean really why do they do that?   It is only irritating those that are offended by people who care not for typography rules.    I mean really, can't people learn from their mistakes?     Do they even care that they are doing it wrong?      Most will likely not care.       Oh well, at least I thank you for informing me of this very important issue.        What would happen with my life if I didn't know of this?         I feel so much better knowing this so thanks a lot.          I will make sure to take note of it in the future.           I will feel like a better person if I make sure to type with only a single space.            Seriously, I will.

When was that ever a thing? I'd never even heard of that until everyone started bitching about it like a week ago.

I really don't care what a bunch of fools belonging to some made up profession say about it.  A civilized human being should use two spaces between sentences.

This.  Can't stop.  Won't stop. "

If I'm not losing points on papers for using two spaces, then I'm not changing.  Period.

Two spaces sounds pretty incorrect to me. I do know that some people do like writing with two spaces, as their teachers taught them to or that it was some sort of expectation to do so. =/

The very idea nauseates me.

I had no idea this was even a thing.

*Huddles in the corner* "

Pitman's typing course I did had it, it was a typing standard.

Always been a single space for me :/

People do that? What the hell?!

As an editor, I hate people who put two spaces after periods with a burning passion. In the world of published writing, it is always, always wrong.

What?Two spaces between sentences?         That's crazy!              Who on earth would do that? Two spaces is crazy.   I mean, you'd have to be deranged to put two spaces in between sentences.                         Either that or some sort of space fool. 

People do that....? Now I'm going to be counting spaces for the rest of my goddamn life.

The newest edition of the APA style guide requires two spaces between sentences.  There isn't  a  right or wrong, only preferences.  Whoever wrote that article can go to hell.

I was not even aware that this was a thing and my entire education is based upon languages. It's incomprehensible. Who would do that?

I'm a one space guy. I don't mind a two spacer though, it's the handful of people that deliberately don't space at all after a sentence that I correct. 

" I had no idea this was even a thing. "

I think it's easier to read when their are two spaces between sentences.  It looks nice too, the constant single space between characters needs breaking up.  I want to know where the single space idea came from?  I thought it was decided there should be two when people were still using typewriters.

I was taught to use two spaces in school, but I stopped doing that shit YEARS ago.

I learned to type with 2 spaces. . . But, I also took a class in high school, where we used typewriters that required you to insert a sheet of paper and printed one letter at a time.
