I type with two spaces because that's the way I was taught as a lad.  It's not radium, though, that stops double spaces from showing up online. Blame the HTML standard which truncates everything to a single space unless you type in the right thing.  I also believe strongly in the serial comma.

The Oxford comma is necessary and appropriate to avoid ambiguity. But two-spacing is old-fashioned and silly. GET WITH THE TIMES GRANDPA!

I think that two spacing makes things easier to read.  It provides a much larger visual cue that you're at the end of a sentence.  Two spaces provides an instant visual difference between a period used in something like an abbreviation and one at the end of a thought.

I really don't care, though.  I just wanted to type a few bullshit sentences with two spaces between them.

Why aren't you in a union if you work for the government? That's normally the best part, except my union sucks at the moment because it is run by prosecutors. Turns out prosecutors suck at negotiating from position of weakness.
Still 4 weeks of annual vacation, which ramps to 6 with seniority.

Cherron Phillips, a devotee of the so-called sovereign citizen movement, was sentenced to 7 years in prison Tuesday for filing a series of bogus multibillion-dollar liens on then-U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and other top federal court officials.

"For the record, I do not consent to the adjudication process here," said Phillips, sitting at the defense table in an orange prison jumpsuit.

Born and raised in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, Phillips was the high school sweetheart of Simeon Career Academy basketball star Nick Anderson. In 1988, the two had a son together, and although they never married, they remained close as Anderson's star rose, first as he led the Illini to a Final Four and then as his NBA career blossomed with the Orlando Magic.

I think the weirdest part is that she should've been a generic rich woman due to Nick Anderson but nope.

Hell, where I live some judges don't have courtrooms. I practice in the country and routinely drive 150+ miles in all directions for court. Texas is big but no one lives out here so the courts are often just General jurisdiction outside of the cities.

Our "big" county has 5 judges, all general jurisdiction, and they've said 90 to 95% of their civil case lists are family.

In Texas being a District Judge means being able to go to social events and raise money. The work in Court gets in the way of this usually and is secondary.

Yep. My understanding from ~sources~ is that the USPTO isn't going to bother giving examiners guidance this time because they're terrified that they'll get it wrong if they do. Unless your SPE says otherwise, I think the smart thing for an examiner to do for now is just to pretend that 101 doesn't exist.
