Q. About two spaces after a period. As a U.S. Marine, I know that
what's right is right and you are wrong. I declare it once and
for all aesthetically more appealing to have two spaces after
a period. If you refuse to alter your bullheadedness, I will
petition the commandant to allow me to take one Marine detail
to conquer your organization and impose my rule. Thou shalt
place two spaces after a period. Period. _Semper Fidelis_.
Am I seeing things, but hasn't the poster put only one space after each
period?
