@zwol Same, except I have actually tried to stop (just because it is unnecessary when not in physical print), but it's really hard; it's just deeply ingrained in my typing reflexes. @luca @draNgNon @brad @jonny

@internic @luca @draNgNon @brad @jonny There's actual research demonstrating that having a little extra space after sentence-ending punctuation does help readability, but the computer ought to be taking care of that for you (serious typesetting engines generally do, but browsers don't; this is one of the several typesetting-related things I *wanted* to tackle during my brief time at Mozilla but got nowhere with because I was unable to locate the code that would need to be changed).

@internic @zwol @luca @draNgNon @brad @jonny I thought it would be hard but it took me less than a week to change to one space after a period. (It saves paper if you print things too)
