I think that may be the style of the older generation - remember my grandparents doing this when I first started using a computer.
Also, I never actually use it personally but a double space on a Mac keyboard automatically enters a period and a (single) space for you.
- worthless-trash 4y agoGreat now i feel old. I was taught to use double space after periods.
- JasonFruit 4y agoI will happily continue double spacing until my fingers curl in death. Except on my phone: whatever it does, I've determined, is beyond my control.
- rahimnathwani 4y agoSame! It was only 6-7 years ago that I switched to single spaces.
- jasperry 4y agoThe double-space after the period is good when using a monospaced typewriter, because for readability there should be more space between sentences than between words (not twice as much, but that's the best you can do with a typewriter unless it has a half-space.) Now that most writing is done on word processors that use proportional fonts and manage the spacing themselves, it's no longer called for.
