This is exactly correct.(1 space)Two-spaces was the standard practice in typewriter days and many people who learned to type then still have that habbit now.(1 space)Indeed the practice is still taught in many keyboarding classes.(1 space)But it has never been the practice in professional typography and, with variable space fonts now standardly available to all of us, one-space should be the rule.(1 space)I believe MS Word has a feature you can turn on which automatically converts two-space sentence divisions to one-space in order to help those of us who can’t seem to break this habbit.
