At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a “two spaces” habit.
It’s a clear tell.
Saw this meme and thought I’d point that out.

Yeah, I think this is more of an “over 50” thing. Someone who’s 40 today would have been born in 1984. That would have had them graduating high school in ~2002 - well into the computer age and not ever having to do anything on a typewriter.
I’m 35 and I learned two spaces in school growing up :shrug:
Then later I learned it had changed so I stopped doing it. :double shrug:
Yea 39 checking in, that’s the way I was taught to type in school as well. I never broke the habit and still do double spaces after a full stop.
I’d honestly be more surprised that someone could tell enough to be bothered.
I can’t not notice it. It jumps out at me, the exact same as when someone does a non-three-dot ellipse.
I feel like the Monty Python priest with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
“Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.”
The MLA guidelines didn’t change until 2019.
I’m 38 and I do it despite knowing it annoys people. It’s just how I learned to type. Idgaf
