And two spaces after a period! Who's with me?

  Not Matthew Butterick (nor all major English-language style guides): https://practicaltypography.com/one-space-between-sentences.html https://practicaltypography.com/one-space-between-sentences.... I only discovered two spaces after a full stop/period was a thing after moving to the U.S., and only apparently in people over 40.

    It's how Millennials and our predecessors were taught to type in school, and it's muscle memory. Very hard to unlearn.

      It's not that I have any trouble doing one or two spaces. I just think it's a bit arrogant of any group to decide something is "wrong". Also, Pluto is still a planet because the new planet definition is absolutely stupid, and it wasn't really their word to work with anyway.

    I learned of it only by learning by Emacs! There are movement keys to move the to the next/previous sentence, and I wasn't understanding why they never worked for me.
