Wow, someone needs to extract their head from their arse. *cough*xk9*cough* I am NOT in my 50's nor my 40's, and I was rigorously taught the two space rule. It was ingrained in my brain for the at least 13 years. To get pissy about it now not only shows how shallow one can be, but also how superior they think they are to the rest of the world. Seriously, it's a space - you shouldn't get your panties in such a knot over it. Clearly it did NOT disappear in the 1950's, Wordpress does NOT as a rule remove them. It is clearly more of a "to each his own" situation, however wordwrap will not treat a double space differently, causing margins to be off. Quit hating, it just makes you age. More.
