2 spaces after a period or colon, one space after a comma or semicolon.

Two after end of sentence. One after colon and semicolon.
Easier to read with two spaces.

Two is the only correct answer

2 is old school. 1 is 100% acceptable now.

The real question is - 2 or 288?
Posted on 2/9/14 at 2:04 pm to LuckySo-n-So
I honestly never know what to do, so I do both

I was taught two spaces in high school and I'm 20 fwiw.

All of ya'lls word documents must be littered with green grammar lines if ya'll use 2 spaces behind every period.

I was taught two, but I am not a Neanderthal that is incapable of adapting to new technologies. When I learned on a typewriter, you had to use two, but with modern word processors, one is appropriate.

1. Was two with a type writer. Computers have been invented

2 always. These new kids always trying to be cool and break all the rules

Microsoft Word says it is incorrect using only 1 space after a period.
