家园 为啥要two spaces after a period呢?

网上看到下面这个解释:

"The only reason that two spaces were used after a period during the 'typewriter' age was because original typewriters had monospaced fonts -- the extra space was needed for the eye to pick up on the beginning of a new sentence. That need is negated w/proportional space type, hence [it is] the typographic standard."

所以说我们现在写email的时候好像不再需要two spaces after a period。特地看了一下俺的英文书,好像也都是single space after a period。
