AH. I knew you were supposed to do that! Its what killed me in my typing class. I could type 90 words per minute, but I always got one point taken off by the stupid program for not double spacing. >

NO.
Although when people put a space before and after punctuation it makes me nerd rage for some reason..
ie: hey guys , i am awesome .
more examples:
This is a sentence .
This is a list of stuff: apples , oranges
This is a question ?
I know you're supposed to do that, but I never do.

Xeno, I am disappoint. The option that I would have voted for was "No, because grammar is awesome!" Edit: I fixed that. *cackle*
Double spacing between sentences is archaic. Even though I'm typically big on anything retro or old-school, the double space is not ok.
Use One Space Between Sentences
Double Spaces Between Sentences…NOT!
Double Spacing Between Sentences is Not Cool Anymore!

I'm finding it hard to get my head around why you would use two spaces instead of one.

You may have a ***** for the heretical and "new age" ways of grammar, but I have a raging, throbbing ***** for what is actually correct grammar.

You must embrace the change that technology has brought on! Otherwise, you may as well revert to speaking and writing in Old English.
Is that what you want?!
Beautiful.

wtf would you do two spaces after punctuation?
from what i read, it was changed because people cant ****in see when writing or reading typewritings. Basically it was just for typewriters. Says its now changed back to single since people cna see now. its not that its more correct... its preference.

Because it's correct!!

Not after any punctuation, just after periods.
Besides, better safe than sorry when it comes to these things. What if you get a professor or a boss who really notices these things? I mean, it's not like it's such a hard thing to do.
edit: totally off-topic, but xeno, have you listened to the Trans-Continental Hustle album by Gogol Bordello yet?
