        Are you implying that BeBro knows about evil because he is German? Come ON DD! That was 65 years ago!

          From what I've seen, lawyers most often use two.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              Every extra space is a billable hour.

                If my clients send work back to correct formatting errors, and I bill them for it, they won't remain clients for long.

                One space, always.

                  Which is why you make sure to put them in before the work is sent to you clients.

                      2 spaces! No way! That's simply a waste of space. Children in third world countries don't have that kind of space, so it would be wrong of me to waste it in such a way. One space if sufficient to make it easy on the eyes.

                          Who the hell does two spaces after the end of a sentence? I am an English teacher, and I have never heard of that before. That's like bad punctuation like doing ?!?!?!?!?!? for serious things. Even in my writing; reports, essay's, and books, I always use one because one is right.

                                One or two spaces, who gives a ****. Thats what proofreaders are for. Same for spelling and punctuation.
