Actually, Murhagh, Skadi is correct. Inserting two spaces after a period is antiquated and no longer used. Pick up a book (if you own one - you don't strike me as a reader) and check. Your wife is obviously as retarded as you. And she teaches? Dear God, that is depressing. Please don't breed.
Yes 1 space is commonly used between sentences. I do agree with that. However, 2 spaces is still English Punctuation. 1 Space is French Punctuation. Now if people are gonna correct someones punctuation then they should use English Punctuation standard. It was used in the Constitution, it should be good enough here. If I was to go to college and do a term paper, I would be required to use 2 spaces.

That would depend upon the college you attend. You see, in my college, one space after a full stop is the preferred format for English documents. Your ethnocentric rhetoric doesn't move me, not does it make any sort of valid point. It just provides more opportunity to point and laugh at your retarded asshattery.

There's no such thing as a "double space" in written text because the concept of a space as a character exists only in mechanically printed text.

Jeez, I shouldn't have made this thread... In my opinion, the immaturity here is overpowering. You want to yell at each other fine, you do that. Just, don't join most online social games. You do know that there's been worse grammar mistakes, right? And there's more important things to life, so stop caring about others' grammar. It's grammar, damnit.

Wow, I wish I hadn't missed most of this. Silly graduation. Anyway, I felt the need to reiterate this. A double space after a period existed during two major ages in print: the letterpress and the typewriter. Once it hit the computer, the space is generally automatically adjusted or adjusted by a typesetter in the professional print industry. But we all freak out, as printers, when there are two spaces because it is a major time waster. Grammatical people feel the same way. Pointless arguments are pointless and all that.
