When I see one space I shake my head and I go, Aye yay yay. I talk about 'type crimes' often, and in terms of what you can do wrong, this one deserves life imprisonment. It's a pure sign of amateur typography. Two spaces is correct, there is no other answer, and all those who dispute this are infidels worthy of violent death.
- dragonwriter 12y agoTwo spaces is correct if, and only if, type is to be set in a monospaced font or you are using a text processing toolchain that does something sane and sensible with two spaces in the input text, like uses it to distinguish between sentence-ending punctuation and, say, periods used to end abbreviations. Actually using two spaces at the end of a sentence in proportionally-spaced output text is just plain horrible.
