You may be right about exactly one space following a sentence-ending punctuation mark, but generations of students were taught, by very reputable typing curricula, to use two spaces after sentence-ending punctuation that was not at the end of a line. I'm not suggesting that this means they're right and you're wrong--I'm observing that those people represent a pretty good reason for any consumer-oriented application that accepts user prose as input to be able to gracefully handle a second space. If I put two spaces after a period, am I wrong, or simply differently habituated from people who learned keyboarding in the electronic age? And even if I am objectively wrong, I maintain that my wrong is less egregious than the wrong committed by a program that cannot accommodate that very well-documented and widespread typing error.
