At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a “two spaces” habit.
It’s a clear tell.
Saw this meme and thought I’d point that out.

I do this. I’m under 40. It looks nicer.
Too bad for you that HTML collapses all repeated whitespace, so double spacing after a period on the web does actual nothing.
Not true. Whitespace in html is broken. It works or doesn’t work based on inconsistent rules about what is considered “significant”.
"Typically, spaces which are visible to the user are referred to as significant, while spaces which are not rendered are considered insignificant. "
https://blog.dwac.dev/posts/html-whitespace/#:~:text=Beyond single spaces%2C HTML is,same as having one space.
My Lemmy app, Thunder, shows all the spaces, sadly.
It looks nicer on paper.
Looks like ass on a screen.
So you put a CR and a line space instead? Maybe I’ll start adding 3 spaces, to keep myself amused.
No, I just use one space. Fonts on screens look better with single spacing. Like this for example.
Double spacing looks weird. So much so that it is distracting. Look at this ridiculous spacing right here. Such large gaps.
Edit: example failed because the display changes it to single spacing. Maybe you haven’t noticed that your text doesn’t stay double spaced? Here’s a screenshot as a reference.
The CR and line space are what you did in the comment that I commented on. ;-) Spank ON!
