Pratchett said the insanity of person can be judged by an excessive use of exclamation points, yet he haven't lived long enough to see the pure morbidity of someone who frequently uses double spaces and, coincidentially, contributes to LaTeX.

That's probably where line breaks were at some point, and some garbage formatting leaked in when moving the text.

Latex formats lines like newspapers where the left and right side of the text box make clean vertical lines and the width of a space isn't guaranteed, which might be what you're referring to. Actually, I'm pretty sure accidentally typing a double space is impossible, latex will remove them and reformat the words as it sees fit.

It looks like it's typographically aligned "justified", meaning it has a standard width and will automatically add gaps between words to make it fit the page. It looks cleaner and used in many legal and academic documents.
