LT fails to detect two repeated whitespaces between sentences, but successfully detects three (and more) repeated whitespaces. For example:

This is a sentence. And this one is a sentence too.
Starting check in English (American)...

Potential problems found: 0 (time: 13ms)

This is a sentence. And this one is a sentence too.
Starting check in English (American)...

1. Line 1, column 21
Message: Possible typo: you repeated a whitespace (deactivate)
Correction:
Context: This is a sentence.   And this one is a sentence too.

Potential problems found: 1 (time: 22ms)

    Having two spaces at the end of a sentence isn't that uncommon, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing.

    Sorry, dnaber. I've never heard about double spacing between sentences because it's not applicable for my native language, so I thought it's a bug.

    Thank you for LT, it's an amazing tool!
