More pet peeves for me? Hard returns to force a page break and spaces instead of indent. These mess up as soon as more changes are made to the document. I've cleaned up messy documents by doing an advanced search-and-replace, double returns to a single until I catch them all, and the same for spaces, double spaces replaced by a single until they are all caught.

It's funny that this thread has gone to two pages. I relearned the two-space/one-space thing and now always put only one space at the end of a sentence. But I still think it looks better with two spaces. I know that using two spaces in Word and other programs like that can throw an extra space at the beginning of a line, and I was getting corrected by editors about it, so I adapted.
