I grew up with that drilled into my head in typing class but, come to find out, now it is not followed in many cases. Most type faces should only have 1 space after the period. http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/spaces.html

It took me forever to stop hitting the space bar twice after ending a sentence.

For my thesis, the easiest thing was to do a find/replace on ". " with ". " when I was done.

And because of the tendency for a browser to strip whitespace from HTML to render pages readably, those two things look exactly the same.

If you want consecutive spaces in a bare HTML page, you have to use " " which doesn't work here because pg isn't a moron.

You can use the appropriate special character instead of the entity.  Like this.

Because you aren't a moron.

I am though :(
