Hello /prog/.  What ever happened to the convention of starting a new
sentence with two spaces?  It was useful for parsing but now everyone
only puts one.

You should only use two spaces after two new lines.

At some point everyone else was doing it.  Then I stopped doing it, we had an influx of retards new friends and now nobody is doing it.

Well, I'm telling you to stop double spacing, unless it's preceded by two brand new lines.

What  if  I  double  space  after  every  word?  Will  that  make  up  for  the  times  I  didn't  double  space  after  a  sentence?

It was useful for parsing
There's a little thing called punctuation you could consider wrapping your parser around.

I'm still doing it, but only in documents which I expect to be read in monospace. Everywhere else fonts should be expected to manage spacing.

Looks like 4chan doesn't like tabs.
