I _knew_ it!

The yanks? My mum (expert typist) taught me two spaces after a full-stop and I've been telling Yanks for years they THEY ARE WRONG to use only one.

EDIT: I guess I might be the last person to use 2 spaces after a full-stop

IIRC double spacing makes sense for a typewriter. I forget the reasoning.

Already? It's been less than 6 hours since I posted it.

When non-proportional fonts were all you had, then double spacing made it easier to read. In these days of proportional fonts, they're just not necessary.

I can't not do it. I learned to touch type on a typewriter way back in the day before computers were a thing in offices & it's automatic to me now. Can't stop, won't stop [emoji23]
