Double-spacer here, at least on personal communication, and I like the way it breaks out the sentences so they're easier to read. My work specs require a single space so I have to compromise there.

Another irritating protocol is Harvard referencing;.use Harvard but refer to the institutions guide lines.

Why can the institutions be so different?

At least APA seems solid, unless of course you know different!

I abhor the double spaces after a full stop. I think it is a hangover from the days of non-proportional spacing on typewriters, where a punctuation mark took up the same space as an "M".

Two spaces at the end of a sentence.

I've tried to conform to the new normal and do one space. My phone requires 2 spaces to give me an automatic capital letter in the next word so I'm looking forward to Google doing the same upgrade.

When did this change. In UK and Australia this has not been an issue. Must be a damned Yankee thing!

Definitely a double spacer. The way it’s always been and the way it always should be!

Seriously though, it needs to be addressed in order that students don’t get marked down with errors if it is not decided at an academic level.

Is not the first , as our language itself will always change.
To follow what is recommended seems conducive
to unity- hey the rules should keep us on the same page.

Doublespacer.

OMG, finally! I’m a writer and editor for work, and I hate having to constantly fix this (it’s always our Boomer folks). This is a welcome change!

PS - Our stuff is all online. Internet writing must always use a single space. You can use double for print.

Two spaces after a sentence. Some programs won't let me put the 2nd space, but I hit the space bar twice anyway. Sentences seem to run on without that extra space.

Hard to change my attitude about that after so many decades of priding myself on proper punctuation and spacing. That is likely because we were taught two spaces in school.

But I won't let it bother me too much and I'm happy that the younger generation will save several minutes of time throughout their lifetimes from not adding that extra space after every sentence.

Single, mostly..lol

Double space after a period or question mark, single space after other punctuation was how I was taught.
