At any rate, double spacer should know that publishers these days have regex routines that manuscripts get run through, fixing things like initial and trailing spaces and high-bit ASCII, and that /\w+/\w/ or the like is built into such routines. So good luck getting double spaces into print at a proper publisher.
Oh, I know, and I actually don't care; I write the way that works for me, and have no problem with those who write (or publish) the way that works for them. What bugs me is the relentless "you're doing it wrong, you silly fools" from people who don't appear to know much about the very long history of typesetting. I don't go around telling people they're wrong to use a single space, and I'd appreciate a similar courtesy from those who do.
