I was originally trained in two spaces, but have used only one for a couple of decades because of electronic typesetting.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

ha! apparently even when i use two spaces, it doesn't show up that way on the board, but it was drilled into me and that's what i always do.
as for the muffaletta and cilantro, i'm a picky eater. so no muffaletta for me, thanks. cilantro i can't ever really taste. so...
i'm anti-serial comma and also anti-capital letters when i type.
what else ya got?

You can't have my extra spaces.

I have to take them out too, and it's annoying. But I still maintain that two spaces is more readable.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I try to remember to take out my double spaces but I don't always remember. Old habits die hard.

If you use Word, the simplest way is to change the setting in spellcheck.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had a friendly programmer at my office write a macro for me that removes double spaces from the manuscripts I'm editing. Two keystrokes and they're all gone. I am a big proponent of automating repetitive tasks.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

You can also do a find and replace, which is how I just fixed the current MS. Let's see if it sticks.
