Is there a specific reason for calling out two spaces in comments after
a period(I realize it's probably for consistency, but I sure don't ever

writes using two spaces after punctuation? :)
I do!! :)
The period is a full-stop punctuation mark, but visually obscure [1].
The two spaces reinforces its full-stop nature [2].

[1] I'm pretty sure "obscure" is not the word I want, but it's close.
[2] No, I'm not happy with the decision to drop to one space after a
period in modern grammar [3].
[3] At least, at the colleges my daughter has attended.
