I am going to confuse you even more. When I took typing lessons in school (France) we were taught ONE space AFTER a single punctuation (, . ) and ONE space BEFORE and ONE space AFTER a double punctuation ( : ; ! ? ). Example of double punctuation : double. Single. Frankly I don't understand the double space you are talking about. And when I look at what you are writing I never realized that you put a double space after your punctuation. Lol, maybe the forum is changing your double one to a single one.
