The autocorrect is system-wide in Cocoa text fields. To change it, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text and uncheck “Correct spelling automatically.” Strangely though I can’t replicate this behavior and furthermore why would you want two spaces after a period?

Please don't open that can of worms on the mailing list!:

Although I agree: two spaces after a period should have died with manual monospace typewriters.

I loved the way that the DTP program FrameMaker simply refused to allow two sequential spaces (although you could override it in the preferences). In theory HTML won't allow it, and combines sequential into one space, but Microsoft programs get around that using some sort of weird ASCII fixed space character next to a normal space character.
