From another old broad out in AZ: I can't stop doing it, either. I
still type two spaces after a period. Maybe two-fingerers (that sounds kinda dirty, doesn't it?) can do it, but I simply can't. I've been typing for more than 40+ years, and you don't change the habit of a lifetime by simply thinking, "oh, well, ONE space, not TWO." I even do it when I'm typing in Sigil in CV, when editing text. {el shruggo}. I mean, it won't display, it gets taken out directly, so...so what? Maybe 20-somethings will see it as odd, on the off-chance that it does display, but my eyes don't see it as odd at all, still.
I just regex in Word or whatever. But even here in the forums, I'm always typing two spaces. AFAIK, the forum (bless its heart) cleans them up for me. :-) Probably the HTML part of the display.
