I just had a post edited for a questionable grammatical 'thingie' and for double spacing after a period/full stop. That's right. Like this. See? No, you can't! Unless I do this. There it is.
Listen, I don't care if you want to show you are cool or ergonomic by using single spaces; but is this really something that should be a viable and approvable edit? Smacks of Wikipedia-type editorial activity that will eventually send many of us running for the hills of ... of I don't know where else.
And listen, I don't really care that much, but it does seem bizarre, so I submit that perhaps we should gently suggest such behavior is too finicky.
Especially since apparently the double spaces get turned into single spaces anyway, it seems? This is not a dup of this post. See this amusing article for background.
