There is a document that I am editing that has a lot of bad grammar.
Many sentences only have one (1) space between the preceding period
and the beginning of the next sentence.


This is not grammatically incorrect, nor is it typographically incorrect.
Two spaces between sentences is a throwback to the days of the mechanical

proportionally spaced fonts.
