It is natural to anyone who uses a typewriter. Typists are deliberately

Typist maybe, but in France I know no "dactylo" that would do that.
Not being from France, I was indeed taught to put two spaces after a
full stop. I don't see any real reason for the "warning", which is more
of a chiding, anyway. Just ignore that second space, send it to the
file in the TeX-correct way. Those of us who habitually put that second
space there (as I am doing writing this message) can continue to do so
without changing the LyX file at all. That is the way I treat is now,
by simply ignoring the message. Few if any habits will be changed with
that message. Putting two spaces after a full stop is a stylistic
choice, not really an error.
