It's a recognised standard in English. The idea
is to make sentence spaces
larger than word spaces. Curiously, it's not common in the printing
profession, and not at all in other languages. I imagine Hans was taught
that it's "wrong", since I imagine he learned to type in German.
I failed typing, but I don't think that's why I use just one space. :-)
Nevertheless, my dad says I'm the fastest typist he knows, despite the fact
my typing teacher got laryngitis yelling at me.
