What?  Is this really true?  I have always used two spaces between sentences
and Word grammar checker has never told me otherwise.  I did learn on a
typewriter, so I type like that.  This is the first time I've heard that I
shouldn't.  You know, I always wondered why Word only puts one space in when
I copy/paste or drag a sentence around.  Perhaps a new feature in future
word processors could be "use typewriter mode" or "use word processing
mode".  Then it would automatically convert one to the other.
