    Re: Spaces Between Sentences

    I always use 2 spaces. There was a microsoft program we would use in keyboarding when I was a freshman in high school. When you retyped the sentence that was there, you had to use 2 spaces after the punctuation mark.

      Two spaces. Anything else is un-American.

          I was always taught to use 2 when I was in 2nd grade almost 20 years ago or more. However back then when I first learned to type in school we actually used classic style typewriters.

          I didn't realize the reason for it. Though I have done it soo long don't think I will change it now.

            Wow. This is interesting.
            Can any high schoolers verify what they are being taught in their computer apps classes?

                  two spaces to me just seems like the high school trick of making the document longer than it really is. need another half of a page, put two spaces between the sentences. and while i'm at it i think i'll bump the font up 1/2 a pixel.

                      2 after an end of a sentence (period, question mark, exclamation point) and also 2 after colons. 1 after commas and semi-colons.

                              I was taught two up through middle school. Then, one of my teachers freshman year of high school insisted on one, and I ended up just doing one in all my classes for the sake of consistency.

                              In college, I use two for the most part.

                                I've never heard such a thing as two spaces after a sentence. I've always done one.


                                And for those who want to make their essays look longer... I learned a trick to make college papers longer the other month.
                                1. Finish your paper
                                2. Ctrl+F and search for "." (a period.)
                                3. Then go to "Change All"
                                4. Change the font size of all your periods. I usually make them size 14 if I write a size 12 font.


                                It works much better than the two space trick.
