Are you all serious?!? sm

Is it not just a general rule of typing that you put 2 spaces after a period and colon?  And even if you aren't getting paid for spaces c'month, really?  How much longer does it take to hit the space bar a second time?  I can't believe this.... wow, never would have guessed.  I think leaving out the extra space just because noone told you in the account specifics is just silly.  I would think that would just be implied since it is a basic rule when typing.
