I was taught 2. I go with 2. Apparently that teaching is different these days

It's two. The entire foundation of society depends on this.

Two, even though it is unnecessary. However, I'm in a very conservative profession that is slow to accept change.

Writing my thesis as we speak. I really fricking hope it's one space.

One space.
For school papers, make the periods 14-16 font and it makes the paper a lot longer. Sucks I learned this at 31 years old

In elementary school I was taught 2 spaces. From late high school through college it was 1 space.
So, 1 space.
So, 1 space.

APA just changed their style back to 2 spaces after being 1 space for several years. Basically, it depends on what you are comfortable with or what your "style" guideline is.

As with other writing conventions (e.g., oxford comma), this is a must.

It use to be two, now the norm is 1. I do 1.
