    I think it was a subversive effort by the designer of HTML, because if you have more than one space it'll just make it become one space.
    You use twitter?

            I never heard of the two spaces thing until there was a previous thread/posts about it here.

                    HTML ignores a second space after a period, so it's a complete waste of time typing it.

                      And even if doing for print, proportional fonts make it redundant, and even in typeset text in the old days they didn't really use it. It was mainly for monospace typewriter fonts.



                      So you guys arguing for it are mental. Just something you got taught in typing class?

                        Who gives a f*ck about an oxford comma?
                        I've seen those english dramas too
                        They're cruel
                        So if there's any other way
                        To spell the word
                        It's fine with me, with me

                        Why would you speak to me that way
                        Especially when I always said that I
                        Haven't got the words for you
                        All your diction dripping with disdain
                        Through the pain
                        I always tell the truth

                        Who gives a f*ck about an oxford comma?
                        I climbed to dharamsala too, I did
                        I met the highest lama
                        His accent sounded fine
                        To me, to me

                        Check your handbook
                        It's no trick
                        Take the chapstick
                        Put it on your lips
                        Crack a smile
                        Adjust my tie
                        Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys

                        Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
                        Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
                        Why would you lie about anything at all?
                        First the window, then it's to the wall
                        Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

                        Check your passport
                        It's no trick
                        Take the chapstick
                        Put it on your lips
                        Crack your smile
                        Adjust my tie
                        Know your butler, unlike other guys

                        Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
                        Why would you lie about something dumb like that?

                        First the window, then it's through the wall
                        Why would you tape my conversations?
                        Show your paintings
                        At the united nations
                        Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

                          Unlike the Oxford comma (which reduces ambiguity), an extra space between sentences does not serve any practical purpose.

                            Oxford comma is very useful for lists of double acts.

                              Oxford comma, YES
                              Double space, YES, but only out of habit. I know it serves no purpose but I've done it for so long and it doesn't hurt anything so there's no reason to break the habit.
                              It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
