Also, to be honest, this is the first time I've ever heard of it being a typography rule to only use one space... |
Same here, even though I was going through elementary school in the late 90's, I was still taught to use two spaces. I think it has a lot less to do with what is proper, and a lot more to do with what is a lot easier to read. If I can recall correctly, the justification teachers used is that there is one space after commas and words, so putting 2 spaces makes it much clearer that a new sentence is starting, despite there being a period to indicate that.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
