Maybe if I gave the ex more space after her periods I would still be married

I was taught two growing up and no one through HS or College told me any different.

I didn’t even know one space was a thing until I saw Chris Hassel tweeting about it today.
 
I know the reasoning behind needing 2 is no longer a thing, but there is no way I can make the switch. The muscle memory says double tap, so I double tap.
 
Man,....I thought you were talking a women thing. 2 during, 1 after.

Then you are on your own.
 
Always depended on how short I was on a paper requirement. But 1 looks much better and I always use 1 now.

While we're at it.Why even have one space?One space just takes up more room.You really don't need one space even because that's what the period is for.To denote the end of the sentence.Actually why even have a period at the end of the sentenceWe capitalize the first word in the next sentence anyway to denote the beginning of a sentenceNextwe'llgetridofthespacebetweenwords

That moment when Grandpa shows up to McDonald’s for coffee and suggests Gertrude stops double tapping in the invites.
