@sozobe,
Sozobe -- no two spaces after a period any more, thanks, unless you're using a monospace font like Courier (looks like a typewriter). The reason for it in the first place was that the typewriter font didn't always show enough space to indicate the end of the sentence. New fonts automatically add a little space on the right side of the period so the sentence ends and beginnings are clear. So, one space only after any punctuation.
