Ok, we have a debate going on in the toastedrav office--Two spaces or one? Do you hit the spacebar twice after the end of a sentence or only once? Please help, it's taking up more time than it should.

I was always taught you hit the spacebar twice. Then again, this was in typing class. Do they even have typing class anymore? George also says he was taught two spaces.

Now Chris, Margo and Jen all say it's only one space. Jen learned it from her journalism professor and Chris and Margo from graphic design classes.

Is this an age thing? Computer vs. typewriter thing?

Please help.
