Thank you for telling people that it's one space after sentences and not two in modern typography.

I picked up the habit of putting two spaces between sentences in elementary school, and have not been able to shake it since. Luckily, this problem is automatically corrected in latex!
In latex source, I write each sentence on a new line. This makes the diffs in source control very clear. It also makes me conscious of very long sentences.
