Re: Re: So is it one period after a sentence or two...
One, and one only! Particularly if you are sending a manuscript to a publisher for possible publication. Some publishers state that in their guidelines for a reason. With programs like Word, if you put in two spaces, the publisher will often have to manually remove them all when formatting for publication. How annoying. *Rolleyes* And you don't want to annoy your publisher!

I also had this problem, believe it or not. I was taught how to type in elementary school on ancient computers, and we were told to use two spaces after a period. I had to retrain my fingers before college, when professors got really picky out that kind of stuff. It was hard at first, but I did it!
