At my last job, a bunch of the older folks did not realize they had a "two spaces" habit.
It's a clear tell.
Saw this meme and thought I'd point that out.

It has to do with typesetting.
Fonts used to be monospaced, meaning every character has the same width.
We don't do that anymore, now we have variable width fonts, where each character takes up only the space it needs.
