One space after a period or two

One space, never learned it any other way.

How old are you?

I asked this same question in my standup and no one under 25 knew what I was talking about.

I felt sad that I cringed when I heard you mention a standup. I hate being reminded of mine when I'm not at work.

Standup as in standup comedy?

And that made me laugh.

 

Also, I'm 37 and never was taught 2 spaces either. I actually worked with a company full of copywriters and learned the hard way all the ways to screw up Grammer. (BTW as you can see none of it stuck) Never once did they mention it either.

One space all the way.

It was two spaces a long time ago, but now one is generally accepted. A lot of style guides I come across these days specifically say NOT to use two spaces anymore.

One. Two hurts my OCD badly.

I guess we will have to make a new forum for both one space and two space users...

 

I’m team 2 space for the record

It would be fun to dig up some of these dirty 2-timers' posts in the old NA archive and see how many times they've used the normal 1 space.

Just kidding, this is a fun thread I support both sides.

2 spaces.

My high school keyboarding class was in the late/mid 90's and that was still how it was taught.

(And I am pretty sure we learned explicit 2-spaces-after-a-period in middle school computer class as well)

 

Though I understand that one space is the modern default, for whatever reason.
