I use two spaces after every sentence, and I'm 23. It's not a personal quirk either, it was just normal formatting in the American public schools I attended. (By the way, anyone who points out that this very post uses single spaces after a full stop should know that LessWrong messes with formatting. I typed double spaces; it's just not displaying as written.)

Same. Well, 24.

This isn't a specifically LessWrong thing. Web browsers do that to text - they ignore spaces at the beginning of a paragraph and also between words.

Actually, there is something specific to LW: view source and you'll see that it is the server and not just the browser that is doing it.
