"who does care about any grammar rule", i
think. if its wrong it doesnt matter every
one will just need to get over it; though will
they?
No study has shown that double spacing after a sentence increases readability. If that's your opinion that's fine, but it isn't scientifically supported. It is worth noting that when one double spaces after a sentence it can slow down the reader without improving comprehension. Thus, it's more likely negative than it is positive.
Regardless, they're just rules. It's just a standard. If you don't follow the rules or the standard, that's fine. I don't think anyone here is suggesting you can't. The only true negative that comes from it is that people who are aware of the standard will view your writing and know you aren't aware of the standard.
Doing it for work isn't any reason to do it anywhere else. I have to double space lines when I hand in a paper but I don't double space when I'm typing here.
My wife uses double spaced for work, but she's of the ability not to double space after a sentence if she's texting me.
I do like that some people call anyone who adheres to the standard a grammar nazi, while being steadfast in the incorrect usage of grammar. Shall we call them grammar anarchists?
