That's also what I was taught to do. In elementary and middle school, it didn't matter so much, and was accepted as a standard. After that, English teachers, bosses, etc. may start getting picky about it. I had thought that I was too set in my ways too, but I had to change them when I joined the newspaper staff last year, and stories weren't accepted if there was more than one space after a period. That's due to issues with the page and column layouts, and is a common newswriting practice. It wasn't that hard for me to make the change.
