I was taught two spaces at the end of a sentence when I took a journalism course. I will not change. With only one space, regardless if it is proportional or monospace, it looks like a run-on sentence. When a sentence ends in a l or exclamation point and the next sentence begins with an I, you still don't know what the hell you're reading. Here's an example: -- That's all! I love it. -- Two spaces would definitely make it easier to read.
Now to the nitty-gritty . . .
You never realized it, but TOTV automatically changed your two spaces to one. Regardless of what you do, when you submit anything on TOTV, the site automatically uses one space only at the end of each sentence It really doesn't matter; TOTV has taken poetic license and have changed the two spaces to one!
