There should only be one space after a period.

Unless you actually still use a typewriter.

That is all.

Double space after a period is easier to read.

This debate has already been done. Some guides still recommend two spaces.

I learned to type on a computer AND was instructed to use two spaces.

Not arguing, but what's the logic behind that?

The computer is smart enough to build in a space?

I can't see me changing that habit in the next 20 years or so.

yeah, it's DURING the period when they need a lot of space.

The only reason to two space it is if you're trying to cheat the system.

I single space on mobile and double space on a computer, so I guess someone could figure out where I'm posting from.

Are you fricking serious? One space? I'll bet your "report" is some anti government manifesto you're writing under an overpass with your pet dog who's been dead for weeks. You fricking weirdo, I'm glad you left society, we don't need people like you.
