I dunno. And what’s up with the “single space” after a “.”?

It is not old school or new school.

For typing with a monospace typeface (e.g. Courier, Letter Gothic), two spaces are used after a period. For typesetting with a proportional typeface (e.g. Times Roman, Helvetica, most others), a single space is used. That is the way it was (pick up a 100 year-old typeset book) and the way it is (look at a monospaced legal document).

Who uses the liberal MLA? They were leaders in the so-called gender-neutral language garbage?

I will continue to use MLA as an authority until someone comes-up with a conservative alternative. I figured that the single/double space thing had something to do with the demise of typewriters.
