Same reason people say “outta” instead of “out of”

Sometimes phones will (for some inexplicable reason) do it without you wanting it.

I think you used to have to double space a period when writing on typewriters at least that’s why my dad does it

It bugs me too, especially because you have to intentionally do it. And if you're typing on a phone, most likely it will autocorrect a period if you space twice. So you have to cognizantly do it.
Just like capitalizing the First Letter Of Each Word When You Type. Bugs the shite out of me as well.

Probably typewriters. Same reason why people feel the need to double space at the end of a sentence.

I hate that and when people put a period before a ! or ?. Used to see it on twitter and FB a bunch before I deleted mine.

Often because they are on a cellphone, choose the correct auto-correct word below to save time..:and it automatically adds the space

Maybe you could use some Xanax. !

I do it with things that are written to be read aloud. It makes the punctuation easier to see for the reader in real time.
But in normal writing, nah.

I do it by accident on the cell phone when posting all the time. I simply never go back and correct it because it doesn't mean anything. I guess now I will know that it upsets some people, but I still won't go back and fix.
