That's the thing: putting a double space at the end of a sentence is not proper writing. No writer worth his salt does it, simply because it's wrong. It's a remnant of when all writing was done in typewriters, prior to the invention of proportional typefaces. Back then, it made text seem normal and easier to read, and was often necessary. Nowadays, it doesn't and isn't. It looks awkward and takes longer to read, since readers are accustomed to what they do in handwriting - proportional typefaces and single-spaced text.
