I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

Typewriters were/are monospaced, so putting a double space after the full-stop helped you recognise the start of a new sentence, giving it, and you, breathing space.
The PC fonts are size adjusted and double space is no longer necessary, but it doesn’t hurt.
Thanks!
I still find it weird, though. I often use monospaced fonts and a double space just looks wrong to me.
