You know what bugs me this week?
People who put two spaces after a period.

ThatÂ’s from the caveman days, people. In the days of typeset printing and typewriters you needed two spaces because the fonts were non-proportional. Nowadays, most fonts are indeed proportional (except maybe Courier). That extra space is useless.

Nope, can't do it. It's a reflex now, sort of like hitting the space bar only with my right thumb. I've been using two spaces since I was 8 and writing DAR contest essays. It's an involuntary reflex when you type as fast as I do.

I have no idea how to break this news to MSWord spell checker.

I can't avoid doing it either. It's like holding in a fart; it just feels to weird.
I have noticed however, that the SBD template removes double spaces in the body of our entries; giving me the appearance (to all with an eye for details) of a intelligent person in step with the latest grammar trends.
Too bad you don't need an eye for details to completely debunk that, though.

You need to take some Prozac or something if that sort of thing is bothering you. Seriously.
