I guess to sum this up, the two spaces after the period does not apply now since word processing software adds a space anyway
As it says in Ecclesiastes, there is a time to summarize and a time to measure. In my experience, the idea
that word processors distinguish between spaces in mid-sentence and spaces between sentences measures out as a myth.
Good point. All you search and destroy fans should keep in mind that wantonly replacing period-space with period-space-space is going to add extra space after every abbreviation.
