Agreed; two spaces looks like crap, and I've always quietly removed any extra spaces from all the copy my company has published. It just seems so blatantly wrong and inefficient that it blows my mind that otherwise seemingly intelligent people would consciously perpetuate this anachronistic folly.

Really? It blows your mind that people who were taught to use two spaces allow their muscle memory to continue typing two spaces in the absence of any incentive whatsoever to break the habit?

You must have a mind that can be blown by a light breeze.

It's simply so glaringly extraneous. And don't discount the author's point about how ugly it is.
