Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation sounds like a great book for grammar nerds, but I am put off somewhat by the 1.5 punctuation errors in the title. (One is debatable and might be excused by context (it refers to a joke containing the phrase); the other is clearly wrong.)

It's not still two spaces after a final stop like a period, question mark or exclamation point? I don't even think about that; I just type it that way.

Word always flags my use of two spaces after a sentence as a problem. But I learned to do it that way back when I used a typewriter (gasp!) to produce documents, and my thumb just automatically double-clicks that spacebar.
