This is one of those things that I feel should have been brought to my attention much earlier than now:

When did this change. I agree two spaces always after a period.

Two spaces after a period? My iPhone thinks so. I cannot find an official authority which deems it necessary nor one that validates the disputal of its correctiveness. I believe in freedom of choice, freedom of speech, and freedom of spacing.

I remember the exact moment in elementary school computer class when we were explicitly told to use two spaces, and I’ve done it ever since. I’ve stopped since I read the article. I was afraid it would be really difficult to break the habit but that hasn’t really been the case.
