> '2 spaces for period-and-space'

I hate to be the one to break it to you but ... I think we're not supposed to do this any more? It's a change I still struggle with.

Apologies to any I've offended with this. Style guides were updated in the last 4-5 years to say that one single space after a period is correct. I think Word even changed how it handles it as well.

I believe the GP meant that some keyboards will produce '. ' when the spacebar is tapped twice.

Yeah on Apple devices two spaces gets converted to a period and one space. It’s just a shortcut, it doesn’t leave the 2 spaces in.

what's wrong with this?

Yeah, I was talking about the shortcut. Although, since a period is just a swipe away, it's not so bad.
