Unsurprisingly (it is Google, after all) the Blogger platform on which this blog is hosted is smarter than I am, and looking back at previous posts I see that it's been correcting my stupid double-space-after-periods habit all along.
And I bet those of you (you know who you are) who said it looks better with two didn't even notice, since this is written in a kerned font, and the period already creates the larger white space your eyes are looking for. I certainly didn't. (Note also that I'm almost certain this is the standard in print publishing, as well, and has been for a long time).
But yeah, now I really don't have a reason to stop it (and can even justify it to an extent since I often draft these posts in monospaced text), and will therefore worry even less about it since it gets fixed on its own thanks to Google's magic before it reaches the interwebs. Admittedly, when I'm writing documents for public consumption, which I'm typically not, I suppose I should make more a point to do that find-and-replace as part of my final proofing, though.
