“I use ‘he’ and ‘his’ as the indefinite pronoun”.
Me, too. I expect many people don’t even know there was a time when that was the proper way. The younger generations have massacred grammar, usage, and syntax. And definitely two spaces after a period!

Agreed that grammar, usage, and syntax are now more of minefield with traps set by the “woke” to snare those of us educated in more genteel applications of those protocols.
As to the spaces after a period - I was right there with you until graduate school in the early 2000s when papers were required to adhere to the APA Stylebook which specified the single space after a period. I had to really think about keeping my thumb from double-tapping that SPACE bar but I eventually retrained my typing skills.
This will quickly become obvious when you read Facebook posts and memes.
