Does this mean IMNSHO means "in my not-so-honest opinion?" Truly an acronym for the modern world.

Definitely "humble", which is why I've _never_ used 'imho'. Never had a humble opinion in my life.

I've found people who use two spaces will be much less consistent. They will rarely use 1, but 3 seems to be a common scenario.

I used to use two spaces. I learned that way. But I got peer pressured into switching to one at some point and it was much easier than I expected to switch. Now two looks weird to me.
