Comment on Why I Two-Spaceparent

Comments

Did you even read the whole article? He directly addressed your first reason. The second reason is weak IMO. What if you forget a period? What if you forget a space between words? If you double space, forgetting it is a typo just like any other typo.

If you capitalize the first word of each sentence it becomes rather obvious if you forget a period.

Since proper nouns are also capitalized, it is ambiguous and you can't script around it.

Then there's also context to fallback on, but that would require a human parser.
