I've recently discovered that my beaten-into-my-brain habit of two spaces at the end of every sentence may not be generally accepted in the publishing world. Of course, I've just always done this because that's what I was told in second grade when I first banged out some words on an Apple IIe. I've been trying to type single-spaced sentences for a few days now, so I'm getting the hang of it. Are these the kind of issues that are argued at English conferences, resulting in splinter groups breaking away from the MLA? Give me your thoughts, with as many spaces between sentences as you want.

Yeah, generally one space is a-ok.

2 spaces shall live forever. I am the splinter cell!

People, if we can remember one thing, let it be this: one space between sentences.
Imagine all the editors of the world who spend their lives doing find/replace, hoping the world will catch on. Do your part!

I have been converted! It only took about a week for me to give up the double-tap on the spacebar after the period. I'm a much better person now.
