I always add, at least, a couple of extra commas to all of my posts, in order to signal that there is always a clear authorial intent.

Mavis Beacon didn't say a word about double spaces, that's how I know adding them is dumb and useless

I learned to type on a computer in the 90s and they told me to use double spaces after the end of a sentence. I have never broken the habit, even though most typesetting software removes it. I genuinely think it makes text a little bit easier to read, and wish that it had never gone away.

It went away after existing since the beginning of moveable type print, because boomers working on early teletext machines interpreted 'do not double space (because it can damage our expensive machine)' as 'do not double space because it is How Professionals Do Things'. Out of their profound technological illiteracy, Boomers then invented a false origin for double spacing to 'explain' why their arbitrary opinion was justified.
