If two spaces after a period is wasted space, wouldn't one space still be too?
If a period was not used for anything else but to end a sentence then I would agree with you but we have abbrev. and such.

Looks like I was Right. The Oxford Comma doesn't matter

I still say two spaces after a period is a wasted space. Only one space people.

The extra space is OK because we don't have 10GB hard drives anymore

That's because you only use 1 space after sentences. If you used two, then you

Ok, I get where you're saying. Also I think some style guides require 2 spaces.

My thing with the Oxford comma - does it ever make things less clear? No.
