How do you manage to fuck up so many things?
Quotation marks missing
Period missing
Two spaces before the first quotation mark
Space between the text and quotation mark
All but one entry after the equals sign not being capitalized

Never two spaces. NEVER!

Otherwise, spot on.

I mean, on a typewriter yeah. But otherwise, no.

I like to use two spaces so that regexes and other mechanical means can definitively identify sentences. It also looked a lot better before plaintext started getting shoved into HTML DOMs. I really hate how text rendering doesn't respect wide spaces. But since I am often looking at source, it still makes it read better when I am working on it.
