I was taught two spaces in typing classes in high school, and later in word
processing classes. The software (Scriptsit) that we used supported it,
inserting a special triangle character for two spaces so we could instantly
recognize it. I've used two spaces ever since I've learned to type, 40
years ago.

Yet I support one space, despite my finger memory. This is a good change.
