I am making it loud that I put a single space after a period or at the beginning of a sentence. Recently, I had to fall for a centuries-old practice of putting two spaces after a period to satisfy 'a few literally important' people. I did all the desk research that I could do to substantiate my practice. I feel ashamed that for a few seconds I even doubted myself to be wrong. Well, now the clouds have vanished and besides all the support for my practice, I found one really interesting article advocating 'single spacing', or say advocating the TRUTH. This article literally pulled me into laughter. I hope you too get lucky to be entertained. You are encouraged to read, whether are you a single or a double spacer.

Can I let you in on a secret? Typing two spaces after a period is totally, completely, utterly, and inarguably wrong.

Why you should never, ever use two spaces after a period.
