Spacing between sentences

Two spaces between sentences - that's what I learned in typing class.

I was taught two and that's what has stuck over the years.

I was taught two and that's what has stuck over the years.   

Me, too.  I like the idea of a blue space. 

[Pheo]

Two.

And it isn't just a holdover from the days of typewriters - handwriting conventions usually included extra spacing between sentences.

Two spaces between sentences - that's what I learned in typing class.

Yep, same with me.

So far, we've got 7 votes for 2 spaces, and none for anything else.

Take THAT, Penelope!

I am under the impression of double spacing is now considered archaic.

It may depend on what you are doing and where it is going?

I was taught one space...I think...but I also use the caps lock button instead of the shift key for capital letters. My boss made fun of me for days after he saw that.

I think this says it's all a question of math

Take THAT, Penelope!

Have I told you lately how much I hate you?

3.5 Characters and Paragraphs
Characters are the letters, punctuation marks, numbers, symbols that you type as
the text. Character formatting determines how characters appear on a page. It is
recommended that you use a standard font of approximately 12 point size. You
can use bold, italic or underlined words to highlight the key words in your text.
Do not indent the first line; use a blank line to separate the paragraphs. A
paragraph is a series of sentences. Just as you control the appearance of the
individual characters, you should control the appearance of a paragraph. You need
to use 1.5 line spacing for all of your written reports; 3 lines between paragraphs

Oh, that's for between lines.

For this poll, I was talking about between sentences.

Examples:
These are sentences.  This pair of sentences has two spaces between them.

These are more sentences. This has one space between.

Yeah, you have.

1 1/2 ---- I have no clue who or where this was beat into me, but I seem to recall some solemn oath or eccentric style guide.

How the heck do you do 1 1/2 spaces on a keyboard?
