How many spaces do you put between sentences?

Just curious. I've always done one. I never knew people used two spaces until I got a work e-mail account.

Always two.

One, always. Two just looks too... spacey.

I switch to 2 spaces if it's a long essay. However, in school growing up, I was always taught with 2 spaces, but I've seen both single and double. Never triple though.

Since HTML, LaTeX and programming languages don't care, one.

I mean, I would do one anyway, because it doesn't make sense to use two unless you're back in the 1930s.

One is best, and correct. http://www.slate.com/id/2281146

That's the article which prompted me to post this thread. Tongue1

I've always used one space and have never been told otherwise, and aside from the article above, I think this quote from the Wikipedia page sums it up nicely:

Wikipedia Wrote:"On a typewriter, use two. On a computer, use one."

Maybe it's a Michigan thing. I generally use two. Definitely in papers.
