The use of two spaces after a period is outdated. The MLA and others suggest 
using only one, pointing out that proportional-font typesetting has always 
used just one after a period and that just about everyone in the 21st century 
has the ability to use proportional fonts now. The use of two spaces is a 
holdover from typewriters.

I'd guess that having already overwhelmed with a few grammatical pointers that 
Andrew didn't wish to crush the OP with information, and certainly didn't want 
to take the time to correct every single error in a document so full of them, 
so he just highlighted a few and left the discovery of others to you and the OP.

I am sure the OP appreciates you finding more errors than Andrew mentioned.
