Same here (dark ages = 1960s). When I became aware of the 'rule' that
double spacing at the end of a sentence was for typewriters, but not
for proportional fonts, I taught myself to change. It took some
effort, but now I do it without thinking.

Looking at a professionally typeset book, it appears (are my old eyes
deceiving me?) the space between sentences is a wee bit wider than
other spaces. If this is the case, it would be nice if word processors
would have a setting which would do this automatically.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapping_of_Unicode_characters#Spaces
lists twelve (12) different Unicode spaces, one of which is called a
punctuation space.
