I think that the author is being a little dramatic. Using two spaces after a sentence is unnecessary, but should not be classified as wrong. I wholeheartedly agree with aephialum's assessment of "asshat" and will continue to double space after sentences.
In regard to the Oxford comma, I was taught it was optional, but my elementary school self decided that not doing something because it was optional was lazy. Some people regard it as being a little pompous, but I couldn't stop if I tried.
