Two spaces vs. one space?

My typing teacher was also my home room teacher. She was forever telling college bound students that most of the teachers agreed that typing was the one high school class they appreciated the most.


PS: FWIW, she was a ChiO.

I have always used two spaces, as that is just how I was taught in high school. Even though I still read a (gasp!) print newspaper everyday, I had never even noticed that the entire world had moved on and left me behind with my typewritter era style. I saw this article earlier this week and have been trying to adjust to just one space, but the motor memory that my fingers have has been slow to adjust.

A friend, who also is a 2-spacer, noted that facebook automatically fixes the space issue- it converts everything to one space no matter how you type it. The iPhone, however, automatically adds a period if you space twice.
