I almost hate to say this, but I'm not sure this is the English convention
anymore. A quick Google shows many, many sites that indicate that the modern
convention is now one space, and none that recommend two spaces. I've even
changed to one space in my e-mails, even, after being a long holdout for the
two space rule.
