The two spaces after a period is something that came from typewriters, and is often an indication of an older writer. Boomers and some Gen-Xers were taught to do so, but fewer Millennials, and, as far as I know, no Gen-Zs learned to type this way. That is why it can be a red flag.

So it isn’t errors, but different writing styles. Using semicolons can be a red flag, or being especially careful with avoiding ending a sentence with a proposition and such. Errors are normal and do not signify anything but a moment of inattentiveness.
