    And maybe a few older people who learned to type on a manual typewriter a long time ago...

      Apparently I'm a communist. Or a terrorist. Except when autocorrect makes me not be a communist or a terrorist.

      I just think it's easier to read with two. What's next, paragraphs? We don't need to break up pages of text! It's a waste of space!

          I have fully accepted and embraced using one space. When I copy and paste from previous documents, I even do a find and replace to fix every two space to one space.

            I do too. It drives me nuts correcting those malcontents who still use two spaces.

                    Yeah. This is a problem for low-t males and jr high english teachers. Definitely not one that we care about.

                      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                          I do it because it's how I was taught. And because I'm a communist terrorist, apparently.

                            Two spaces!

                            Jordan Peterson explains why better than I could:

                            You've been doing it for a long time, and that's what people do. There are reasons the ritual came about, but the ritual lasts long after the reasons have been forgotten.

                              One. But I was a two-space holdout for awhile.

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                                Two. Just to piss off all the people who think it's a big deal. On the list of annoying writing and grammar issues, this is somewhere between last and absent.
