If anyone here has ever been taught touch typing on a typewriter, it comes
as second nature to press the spacebar twice after a full stop (aka period).
If I have to have single spacing after a sentence, I do a find and replace
in word -- you know find a double space and replace with a single.

I just can't re-train my thumb not to press the spacebar twice after a
sentence!  Anyone else have this problem?
