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.

Too bad for you that HTML collapses all repeated whitespace, so double spacing after a period on the web does actual nothing.

Not true. Whitespace in html is broken. It works or doesn't work based on inconsistent rules about what is considered "significant".

"Typically, spaces which are visible to the user are referred to as significant, while spaces which are not rendered are considered insignificant. "

My Lemmy app, Thunder, shows all the spaces, sadly.
