I find the same thing, Wendy. We always learned to use two spaces and you would think the younger programmers would have taken that into consideration in designing their programs, but apparently many of them did not. So, I have started to use only one space and try to remember to insert a bunch of periods....................or something if I want to maintain some kind of separation on the same line.
