I don't think we can. Or can we?
The period at the end of this sentence is followed by six spaces. I bet we won't be able to see them.

I see them and they’re glorious.
I was going to say I don't see it but then I opened inspect tool and sure enough it is all there.
<span class="commtext c00">The period at the end of this sentence is followed by six spaces. I bet we won't be able to see them.</span>I used only the finest artisanal spaces.
I was thrown in a typing class in high-school and I thought to myself "this is a useless class, I'm NEVER going to ever need this".
Interesting, given that I specifically sought out typing class in high school in the late '70s because I was confident that there was going to be a lot of keyboard usage in my future, might as well learn to use it.
And I don't want to hear whinging about subtle mechanical keyboard differences. When you learn at an under-funded rural school with manual typewriters, you also learn to appreciate anything that isn't making your fingers do mechanical printing. :-)
Anyway, I never used double spaces after periods. My typing teacher would always give me grief for it, but for whatever reason, I just never did it. As you can see, I still don't.
