Square Wheels Posted September 29, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2016 Spaces between sentences that is? I don't know how to type, I'm a two finger hunt and pecker. My mom tried to teach me when I was a wee lad to use a typewriter. She taught me to press the spacebar twice after a period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted September 29, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 29, 2016 I was taught to use two, and despite current trends I continue to use two (amid some resulting strife at work). Apparently other people don't like the way that extra white space looks within a paragraph, but that's exactly why I like it. Whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted September 29, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 29, 2016 When I learned to use a typewriter, I used two. Don't know when it started, but I only use one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted September 29, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 29, 2016 Always two. I don't like the way the sentences look without two spaces between them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted September 29, 2016 Share #9 Posted September 29, 2016 Yes. One or two, any other spacing looks weird. Back in the Stone Age when I took typing we were taught to use two. Now it's the computer age and we are taught to only use one space to save data. We wouldn't want our servers filled up with extra spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he deserves two warning points for calling you a bad name. He would not allow anyone else here to speak to other members like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true, feel free to call her a hobag, or a skank, or a skankho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted September 29, 2016 Share #12 Posted September 29, 2016 Ditto to some of the others, was taught 2 many moons ago but I only use one. Single space between paragraphs and no indents. I once had a boss who was a career student and somewhat light on real world experience. However he did listen which was a good thing. I had written an email to senior leadership at his request and although the information was spot on and otherwise well written this boss printed it out and took a red pen to the spacing, indents and other formatting issues and gave it back. I looked at it and said, I'm not re writing that email. Oh no you don't need to, just for next time use proper formatting. I then told him in the "real world" this is how people write.... He got off that pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted September 29, 2016 Share #13 Posted September 29, 2016 I still use 2 spaces, most of the time. The variation in spacing does not bother me as much, as when some of the abbreviations used in texting, creep into emails and posts on different forums.

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 29, 2016 Share #15 Posted September 29, 2016 I use two. software often changes that to one. I've come to expect it. I have a two part last name aka Dutch. Software often refuses to allow that to happen, changing my name into the second half of my last name with the first half as my first name. I guess my first name and middle initial are just meaningless. I don't blame the software or the computers though. I blame the dirt ignorant programmers who couldn't write a program with teleprompter help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted September 29, 2016 Share #16 Posted September 29, 2016 Two, always two. It's the correct standard, one space indicates it's part of the current sentence and not an actual break to start a new sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoo Posted September 29, 2016 Share #17 Posted September 29, 2016 2. While punks that spend their waking hours texting will argue with this, 2 is the correct answer. New fangled digital technology in the hands of punks that know nothing and live in their parents basement do not change rules such as this. Skinny jeans are fine - a skinny - skinny latte with an extra shot is fine - pierced noses are fine...... 2 spaces are required between sentences.

Reverend_Maynard Posted September 29, 2016 Share #20 Posted September 29, 2016 I always use two when typing on a keyboard. Phones don't seem to need it, or like it for that matter. Always a blank line between paragraphs, with no indenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
