I liked two spaces at the end of each sentence - there was a certain
rhythm
to it when typing. Oh well, time marches on.


IMHO, it's a font thing.

I use two spaces when typing a plain text or fixed-width font document. I
use one space for text that's formatted with a proportional-width font. (If
someone winds up displaying my two-space, plain text typing in a
proportional-width font, that's their problem ).

Of course, like you I do sometimes accidently hit two spaces when I meant to
hit one. There is, as you say, a rhythm your fingers seem to remember. On
the bright side, I never have run into any program misinterpreting two
spaces as a line break.
