I am having a fierce argument with my mom over whether or not two spaces are needed after a period. I've always done just one and never had a teacher tell me otherwise.

So TL, is there a right and a wrong here? Or is Either one ok?

Poll: How Many Spaces?
(Vote): One
(Vote): Two
(Vote): Either one is ok

Two is standard, no one will stop you if you put one though.

Two after a period, one after a comma.

It was two back on the days with a type writer now since computers have came out, i think the computer automatically puts two, so either one really works in my opinion. In elementary school, i was always told to do two, but in highschool i was told to do one. i still do two cuz i learned it first and it stuck as a habit.

The older generation (before computers) always say two. But now it's one. I dunno if it's directly because of computers but the norm is definitely 1 now.
