I'm a two-spacer ^. Perhaps it is wrong by current standards but I still think it adds to the scan-ability of a paragraph. They call a paragraph full of holes ugly, I call it easier to scan.

And for the record, monospaced fonts aren't dead: all sensible text editors use them. Monospaced fonts are what I use to write ruby code (not many sentences appear there), java code (sigh... Lots of comments and sentences), and even LaTeX documents. I normally compose documents and long emails in a text editor exactly because the typography of a word processor is a distraction. Even this comment box uses a monospaced font!

^ except on the iPhone where it's impossible/awkward
