It is funny to see such disagreement about the use of two spaces after a period.  Just because the Chicago Style Manual or some other manual says it is wrong does not necessarily make it is so.  I have worked for the largest employer in the United States for over 30 years and one of the first things we tell new employees is to throw away their Chicago Style Manual or whatever they used in school.  The U.S. Government has its own manual of style and that includes the use of two spaces after a period.  Every time.  You could probably argue that it is an outdated style developed during the era of the typewriter and should be updated.  I don't argue with that but to say that using two spaces is "not accepted writing practice" is simply not correct.  It may not be accepted where you work but that isn't true everywhere.
