    FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY, USE ONLY ONE SPACE AFTER A PERIOD.

    It’s really hard to break a 20 year typing habit. Really.  I spent more time overthinking my spacebar breaks here than i should have.  I also find it much easier to read sentences with double-spaced endings.  I wonder if this is part of my mild dyslexia.  It is hard to not just see a jumble of text on the page as it is.

    Regardless - i honestly can’t fathom why this is really so dang bothersome - especially online.
