Sorry, the NIH says two spaces, so I’m going with them. https://t.co/EdRK2kqSuZ
Is this for real? Asking for a frazzled thesis supervisor friend. Johnson et al.: "Are two spaces better than one? The effect of spacing following periods & commas during reading" (2018) https://t.co/y5hdNAtumO
@shikemore Stay strong, the research backs up the two spacers. Unless you're on Twitter when each character matters. https://t.co/nIF8Wh5jYl

@drock87 @Steffi_Cole It makes both typing and reading less efficient. Typing is because the brain must decide whether to single or double space, whereas with single space it’s the same single tap regardless of the punctuation. For reading 2 spaces lower
@JakeLowary @SergioMarBel Two spaces after a stop are easier to read. Yes, even with modern fonts and word processing. Don't believe me though, to the research! https://t.co/GwElx4jgEc
@KevinMaddenDC "Although comprehension was not affected by punctuation spacing, the eye movement record suggested that initial processing of the text was facilitated when periods were followed by two spaces, supporting the change made to the APA Manual."

To all my coauthors: Finally, vindication!
...surely this should be an effect of rendering/displaying/typesetting a document, rather than of the source material? Unless we're mandating 2 's ( non-breaking spaces ).
Two spaces after a full-stop help readers process the material quicker than a single space. So now we know.
