First off, don't feel bad, because I had no idea until I read your post just now. And having said that, I'm kind of FLABBERGASTED. I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, THE WORLD IS COMING APART. HOLD ME. D:
What I want to know is who thought this was a good idea. I mean, it's kinda helpful denoting where one sentence ends and another begins. Heck, it was drilled into me when I took typing in 6th grade. Is this another one of those things, like cursive, where it's simply becoming obsolete? And again, why?
On that note, you may be comforted to know that double spacing is still alive and well in academia. <3 My advisor was thorough enough that he once caught when I accidentally single spaced between two sentences so that I could correct it.
And I'm gonna go ahead and admit right now that I'm kinda a fuddyduddy, and until I have a good reason otherwise, I'm going to laugh in the face of convention and continue to double space my sentences. Putting only a single space between sentences seems wrong to me. There's NOT. ENOUGH. ROOM.
