    Early to mid 20th century??! Dang, double space was seemingly still very much in fashion even after Y2K. Welp, gotta go yell at some kids on my lawn.

      I think this is because it was still promoted by teachers for schoolwork long after it was the norm in professional printing.

      I’ve seen a handful of people in my career write emails in this style, even recently, so it’s not totally dead.
