such as spelling 'you' as 'U' ?
Practice makes perfect takes on a whole new meaning - but not a good one.
And, FWIW, one ought enjoy a pair of spaces not only after '.' but after ':', as well.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Still use the double space between sentences. Just makes it more readable. Only class from high school that was worth while. Personal Typing on an IBM Selectric.

It has been discussed on here before, I always type two spaces after a full stop cos I've been doing it so long it just happens, if I tried to put one it would probably be slower than putting the two. Put two into Code Project and one gets removed anyway.
Hmm, I wonder if it is the first or the second that gets removed.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Removing teh first is clearly more efficient, as it's just a pointer increment! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

As I noted in another post on this thread, don't forget the double space that comes after ':', as well !

I leave no spaces after the full stop. How else am I to access properties from an object? 
On a serious note, I leave a single space after the full stop. Always have done so and have never heard of anyone making double spaces.

Might depend on the language, but in .Net languages white spaces don't matter in this case.

"Memory", "System", "Cycles", "Ninjas", "Titles", "Amazon", "Babies", "Papers", "Idiots", "Ninety", "Moment"?
-- EDIT
"Alarms" seems appropriate.
Any of these? I will try to come up with some more words later.

Somewhere, I have a 100,000+ word English word list, maybe a bit of a ramage and a code challenge is in order...

It looks that way, I can kind of see Agent's point though it could be any of those words and thousands of others.
I suspect the answer has something to with angular boxy shapes though or maybe not.

Okay, then we forgive you 
But Hobby wont, I guess. He said according to rules, it's illegal not to post.
Okay now a WILD guess from me:
Is it TITLES?
I hope it ain't

Is it ᛏᚠᛚᛏᛂᛋ?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

it wants some kind of swedish runes or danish/islandic.
Vikings were hired as bodyguards and were quite bored during heretics abraca-dabra sessions
search for halvdans message took me to [this ^], but I do not think that it is the same Halvdan
"Halvdan was here" according to [this ^] - unfortunately I do not speak any nordic language, neither their archaic dialects

Mmmhh... Maybe _you_ are the winner after all. What does that mean ?

Nothing really. I just tried out wether or not I could post nordic runes.
