Why two spaces after a period isn’t wrong (or, the lies typographers tell about history)

"The topic of spacing after a period (or “full stop” in some parts of
the world) has received a lot of attention in recent years.  The vitriol
that the single-space camp has toward the double-spacers these days is
quite amazing, and typographers have made up an entire fake history to
justify their position."

I generally prefer a larger space at the end of a sentence myself.

Share and enjoy,
