re: Two Spaces or One Space after a Sentence?

I've used two spaces my entire life, and don't intend to change now.
I've heard arguments that two spaces is outdated and I should only use one, but frick that.
I also refuse to pronounce .gif with a soft g.

This is the first I’ve even heard of the one space thing, so I guess I fall into the two category.

Dunno. People today can barely form a proper sentence, so who gives a shite about punctuation...

I've never heard of anybody using 2 spaces after a sentence. How old are you?
Why would you even do that? There's no reason to,

Two spaces made sense back when everyone used typewriters with fonts that weren't proportional. It visually helped separate sentences better.
Now that everything's a word processor with variable fonts, one space is enough and that's what I do. Anyone who disagrees can meet me at Sonic for a type-off.

Two spaces and no Oxford comma.

Old people use two, because typewriters had letters all of the same width. Now that we have programs like Word that have different width letters, people use one.
So....old people use two (or people taught by old people), and young people use one. Both are acceptable.
Eta: I learned to type on a typewriter and early computers, but once computers became worth a shite, I switched to one space

If you are a lazy pos, you use one space.

I feel like y'all are all retarded. It's one. Y'all are all doing one in these responses.
