When learning to write with a pen(cil) while in very early years at school, I remember vaguely being taught one finger width after a comma, two after a full stop. Not with typing though.

That's all very well, but what if you are an elephant?

About what I expected.
I use 1 space. In typing class we were taught 2 spaces (1991, on typewriters) and I kept doing it until ~2005 when I was SCHOCKED to learn that the rationale behind 2 spaces didn't apply to most typing on a computer.
It was not difficult at all to retrain myself, though the double-tap on the space bar did feel really satisfying.

Double-tapping two-space trogs is equally satisfying, imo.

I am thinking this poll solves nothing. nothing. the bleak futility of it rises up and threatens to engulf me.
