one space : . America / (period) (space) (word)

I was taught to use 2 spaces. But this was back when we were still using typwriters. Two spaces made it easier to see where a sentence ended. Now, with computers, the spacing has been improved, so only one space after a period is needed.

I still type with 2 spaces between sentences, but the computer automatically changes it for me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two spaces at the end of a sentence but not after abbreviations like Mr. Smith and misc. items.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Example: The dog was brown.(space)(space)The dog was Mr.(space)Smith's.

It doesnt matter but once you decide to use a certain number or spaces, continue to do so throughout the paper
