FYI, the two spaces become one space in your comment due to HTML's "feature" of automatic concatenation of spaces in p tags.

  <pre>        </pre>

would preserve the space.

If you check the source of this page, you'll see that the spaces are actually there, and it's not Hubski's fault (as I had first assumed when I realized that spaces were concatenated on this site).

Oh that's interesting. I've never even noticed that. To be honest, I just don't care about the two-space or one-space thing. I'm cool with either.

Yeah, same, it seems that most people don't actually care, but the people that do care are quite vocal about their stance for whatever reason. I guess like editor wars, but for English teachers?

Ya I suppose. It's kind of funny to read/hear people get so passionate for something so trivial.
