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.
Hello, I'm Kevin (how did you guess?), and I currently live in Liverpool in the UK.
I once tried to arrest the Prime Minister. I didn't succeed.

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

Because books.
I hate, hate, hate the new feature in the newest version of Word that puts an extra space between paragraphs. You can turn it off but you have to do it in every document, and it's so, so wrong.
