I think the two-space-at-the-end habit was a typewriter thing. It's now about as obsolete as typewriters.

Sigh... I'm getting to be an old fart.

I suppose things might have changed since I learned touch typing on my Dad's Compaq Chameleon: http://www.ubertechworld.com/museum/images/Compaq_PortableI/...

I'm with you. I get razzed by a copywriting friend of mine all the time. I learned 2 spaces in typing class and nobody ever told me the rule changed. It's such a habit now that I have to think about using just one space.
