Hi,

It's one of the syntax elements of standard written English, as taught
in Britain anyway for many, many years. One space after a comma, two after
a period, exclamation or question mark, indent the first character of a
paragraph, etc...

The future was never like this!
When I was in
the 8th grade, one of the courses we were required to take was
in typing. I've never gotten particularly good at it, but I did learn that
a period at the end of a sentence is followed by two spaces, for example.
Thank you very much. So it seams there is a 'school' forcing this in
the US .... and I always wondered why some people add two spaces after
a period.
