How many of you knew that having two spaces after a full stop is technically incorrect?
I didn't, and shame on you for never correcting me. Even never having read my sentences is a poor excuse.
(My God, this is going to be a hard habit to break D:)

But it was really the rise of desktop publishing that's mostly killed double-spacing.
