I know. I can't imagine that it matters one way or the other. It looks pretty much the same either way;^)

Me too. Maybe that's why my typing looks goofy.

You, too? And I still put a comma after the second to last item in a series, as in a, b, and c.

Heck, so do I, and I was born in 1972 and used a computer before I ever used a typewriter. I think single spaces after end-of-sentence periods not only make it easier to read each sentence, but also are necessary to distinguish sentence-ending periods from periods after abbreviations.
