Just checked. It is still not proper to space only once after period.
I noticed that on some forums the second space is auto taken out, I guess this is to save on character spaces.
Remember, that those who are over 50 are starting to show some survival skills that those under 40 might still need to acquire.
For the love of all that is good and holy in this world..... stop with the double spaces.
I'm 33 BTW, and have a degree in communications. two is correct.
