There is no argument, Lauren. This has nothing to do with style guides. It's
the way it is, period. Show me *one* style guide, other than your own, that
states anything other than that the use of two spaces after punctuation is
an anachronism, pure and simple.
There is no debate. It is not a matter of personal preference.
OK, I'm done with this topic.
