"I have to say, once I was editor of my college paper, I was downright tyrannical about abolishing that extra space. And not spelling out numbers -- another style issue that varies a lot." I was taught with the double space method, and 25 years later that's still the method that I use. It is just second nature for me, and is an almost impossible habit for me to break.
As for spelling numbers, not sure which side of the fence you fall on but I was taught that the numbers zero through nine should be spelled out and numbers 10 and higher should be in number form.
