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.

Re: Spaces Between Sentences
LMAO
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.Comment

Re: Spaces Between Sentences
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.Individuality: Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.

Re: Spaces Between Sentences
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.Green Bay Packers | Milwaukee Brewers | Bradley Braves | Wisconsin Badgers

Re: Spaces Between Sentences
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.Comment
