If you ever take a typing course, you will learn this very early on. But yes, that is the standard for the separation of sentences ... at least in the United States.
But don't blame me, as I wasn't the one that brought this up in the first place. Rather, Tastycles was nitpicking and getting on my case for actually putting two spaces between my sentences (gasp*), as saying this was "incorrect". That's how the spacing debate started. But he said he was willing to withdraw his comments in his original analysis, so I don't think anymore really needs to be said on that issue.

Sidious I'm a computer and Internet Tech, I took keyboarding classes oh let's say 8 to 10 years ago when I was in Middle school. So unless some shit changed in that time frame that I was never made aware of, I was never taught the double space rule of thumb, which doesn't make any sense anyways as it looks about the same as a single space.

Well, then all I can say is that we apparently had two different teachers, as I was taught this way back in High School about 15 years ago, when I took Typing I.
No, between paragraphs. Compare:
Which is easier to read?

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I don't think anyone is disputing it. Sidious was talking about between sentences.

Here is a Wikipedia article on double spacing at the end of sentences, which is apparently also termed "English spacing".

In my OP, I was discussing striking the Enter key twice for paragraphs, and was discussing double spacing after each period when used between sentences.

Oh, my mistake. I thought you meant paragraphs.
I think a single space between sentences is sufficient.

That has to be the most boring wikipedia page I have ever skimmed. To be honest I only brought it up because I didn't notice you'd done it every time.

That is possible, I guess I just can't recall any typing tests I had taken that required two spaces like that upon further contemplation. I guess it also depends on the material the school chooses for the keyboarding classes.
Now we could really get deep into this conversation and discuss MLA and APA formatting. All I have to say is I prefer MLA, but only because that's what I was taught in high school. I had to quickly adjust to APA formatting for my online classes I'm taking. Not fun.

Well, now you know that I always practice English spacing between sentences when posting, as it is a standard typing practice in the United States.
And yes, that was a very boring Wikipedia page.
Quite frankly, I'm done discussing this. I wasn't even the one that made this an issue in the first place.
Ese cabron senor Sedio dijo que yo soy un pendejo. Porque me insulto ese hijo de su madre. Yo no le hice nada y me critica por escribir mal. Porque senor Sedio? Porque no podemos ser diferentes y joder el lenguaje americano? Tu constitucion dice que hay un "Freedom Of Speech". Bueno. La verdad es que hablar no es lo mismo que escribir. Bien por ti senor Sedio. Y bien por ti Bolasabrosas. Tapa Doc... Tu nuevo nombre es raro.

I don't put double spaces between sentences. That just looks ridculous. Who would do something like that?

Isn't Raw usually typed as RAW?

Cunt.
It used to be, I think it changed officially.
I've never seen a priod that looked like ".". They're usually bloody, and awfully messy.
To keep with the rules of the net, I will check over Tasty's post, and see if there are any errors on his end.
There should be a semicolon in place of the comma, and "elementary school" should be in quotation marks, since it's referencing another sentence.

I don't think there needs to be a comma placed before the word "since".
Period?
No one can get it right just now.
You're just mad I called you out on a grammar error in the fed.
The rules of the net keep on rolling.
No, there shouldn't be a semi colon because the subject doesn't change. It doesn't need to be in quotation marks because the use of red implied that I was highlighting this error. That's an issue of aesthetics, not grammar. You don't think I'd post anything that pedantic without checking it, do you?
