weird grammar question
I'm not sure if it's old school or what, but I learned that when typing, it is proper to put two spaces after a period (or colon, but that's not as important). However, the Chicago Manual of Style dictates that one period after sentences is correct, and I think it's common (if not universal) to use one space in most publications. I am slowly trying to make the switch, but it's really difficult.
How many spaces do you put after a period?
